A pilot study of somatotopic mapping after cortical infarct.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Animal studies have described remodeling of sensory and motor representational maps after cortical infarct. These changes may contribute to return of function after stroke. METHODS Functional MRI was used to compare sensory and motor maps obtained in 35 normal control subjects with results from 2 patients with good recovery 6 months after a cortical stroke. RESULTS Du...
متن کاملIsolated Shoulder Weakness due to a Small Cortical Infarction
Small cortical infarctions can produce isolated motor paresis in the upper extremities. Several cases of isolated hand or finger paresis have been reported, but isolated shoulder weakness is extremely rare. We report here a patient who developed isolated shoulder weakness due to a small cortical infarction in the medial precentral gyrus.
متن کاملAn Unexpected Reason for Isolated Foot Drop: Acute Stroke
The differential diagnosis of acute weakness (AW) in emergency departments (ED) is broad and includes both neurological and medical reasons. We describe an 81-year-old female patient with cortical infarct presenting with sudden onset isolated foot drop, which to the best of our knowledge, was the third case in English literature. An 81-year-old female was admitted to our ED with a 12-hour histo...
متن کاملIsolated Weakness of Middle, Ring, and Little Fingers due to a Small Cortical Infarction in the Medial Precentral Gyrus
SMALL CORTICAL STROKES CAN PRODUCE PREDOMINANT ISOLATED WEAKNESS IN A PARTICULAR GROUP OF FINGERS: radial or ulnar. The traditional views are of point-to-point representations of each finger to neurons located in the precentral gyrus of the motor cortex such that the neurons of the radial fingers are located laterally and those of the ulnar fingers are located medially. We present a case of iso...
متن کاملSHORT REPORT Middle cerebral artery territory infarction sparing the precentral gyrus: report of three cases
Infarctions in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory may present with different clinical features depending on which divisions or branches are occluded and on the extent of the infarct. If the anterior (superior) division is involved, the most common consequences are contralateral hemiparesis and hemisensory loss. In addition, aphasia usually accompanies lesions in the left hemisphere, whe...
