Ipsilateral hemiparesis and contralateral lower limb paresis caused by anterior cerebral artery territory infarct
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ipsilateral hemiparesis is rare after a supratentorial stroke, and the role of reorganization in the motor areas of unaffected hemisphere is important for the rehabilitation of the stroke patients. In this study, we present a patient who had a subclinical remote infarct in the right pons developed ipsilateral hemiparesis and contralateral lower limb paresis caused by a new infarct in the left anterior cerebral artery territory. Our case suggests that the motor areas of the unaffected hemisphere might be reorganized after stroke, which is important for the rehabilitation of stroke patients.

Capsular hypesthetic ataxic hemiparesis.
Twenty-three patients with hypesthetic ataxic hemiparesis underwent computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Twenty-two patients had infarcts of lacunar or slightly larger size in the contralateral posterior limb of the internal capsule. In 15 patients the infarct extended superiorly into the adjacent paraventricular region, and in seven it extended into the lateral thalmus. In eight ...
متن کاملHomolateral ataxia and crural paresis: a syndrome of anterior cerebral artery territory infarction.
Five patients with superficial anterior cerebral artery territory infarcts in the paracentral area are reported, who developed a hemiparesis which was predominant in the leg, and with homolateral ataxia in the arm. A similar neurological picture was not observed in 1736 patients who were admitted over an eight year period to a primary care stroke centre with their first stroke. Involvement of c...
متن کاملVascular ataxic hemiparesis: a re-evaluation.
Ataxic hemiparesis is commonly considered as one of the "typical" lacunar syndromes. Using the prospective stroke registries from Lausanne and Besançon, 100 patients were selected consecutively (73% men, 27% women; age 64.7 (SD 13.6) years) with a first stroke and ataxic hemiparesis (hemiparesis or pyramidal signs and ipsilateral incoordination without sensory loss). Brain CT or MRI was perform...
متن کاملDeterioration of pre-existing hemiparesis due to injury of the ipsilateral anterior corticospinal tract
BACKGROUND The anterior corticospinal tract (CST) has been suggested as one of the ipsilateral motor pathways, which contribute to motor recovery following stroke. In this study, we report on a patient who showed deterioration of pre-existing hemiparesis due to an injury of the ipsilateral anterior CST following a pontine infarct, as evaluated by diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). CASE PRES...
