OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and clinical efficacy of motor evoked potential (MEP) monitoring for supratentorial tumor surgery. METHODS Between 2010 and 2012, to prevent postoperative motor deterioration, MEP recording after transcranial stimulation was performed in 84 patients with supratentorial brain tumors (45 males, 39 females; age range, 24-80 years;...

OBJECTIVE To determine the supratentorial area associated with poststroke dysphagia, we assessed the diffusion tensor images (DTI) in subacute stroke patients with supratentorial lesions. METHODS We included 31 patients with a first episode of infarction in the middle cerebral artery territory. Each subject underwent brain DTI as well as a videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) and patient...

Glioblastomas multiformes (GBMs), are the most common primary malignant tumors of Central Nervous System. Frequently located in supratentorial topography, infratentorial location is rare, around 0-3.4% GBMs.   The diagnosis these uncommon adults, few cases have been reported, being even more infrequent elderly patients . typical clinical presentation a rapidly growing posterior fossa lesio...

The MR imaging findings in two patients with the clinical diagnosis of oculomotor apraxia are presented. Both cases showed dysgenesis of the cerebellar vermis, and the colliculi were fused in one patient. No supratentorial abnormalities were seen in either patient.
