Dear Editor, Multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy (MADSAM), also referred to as Lewis-Sumner syndrome, is an atypical form of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP).1 Cranial nerves are involved in some MADSAM cases. We report a case of a patient with MADSAM who showed hemiatrophy of the tongue with contralateral hemiparesis. A 55-year-old Jap...

An important question is whether attentional selectivity improves discretely or continuously during stimulus processing. In a recent study, Hübner et al. (2010) found that the discrete Dual-Stage Two-Phase (DSTP) model accounted better for flanker-task data than various continuous-improvement models. However, in a subsequent study, White et al. (2011) introduced the continuous shrinking-spotlig...

OBJECTIVE The study presents the results of reconstruction surgery of lesions on n. facialis with n. hypoglossus and n. accessorius performed in our clinic. PATIENT GROUP AND METHODS 10 patients were treated by anastomosis of n. facialis with n. hypoglossus (HFA), 1 patient by anastomosis of n. facialis with n. accessorius (AFA). All operations were performed under the microscope; HFA and AFA...

Movement related synchronization of high frequency activity (HFA, 76-100 Hz) is a somatotopic process with spectral power changes occurring during movement in the sensorimotor cortex (Miller et al., 2007) [1]. These features allowed movement-related changes in HFA to be used to functionally validate the estimations of subdural electrode locations, which may be placed temporarily for research in...

The commonest source of naturally acquired microchimerism, i.e. small numbers of foreign cells within the organism, is two-way mother-fetus transplacental trafficking during pregnancy. Here, the first report on coexistence of pregnancy-associated pemphigoid gestationis (PG) and progressive facial hemiatrophy, a form of "en coup de sabre" morphea, is presented. HE histopathology (eosinophil-rich...

Purpose LS can cause significant morbidity in the growing child, including joint contractures and facial and extremity hemiatrophy. Optimal therapy is not known, and few randomized clinical trials have been carried out. A prior survey of Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) members identified methotrexate (MTX) and corticosteroids (CS) as the most commonly used medicat...

We report a case of Parry-Romberg syndrome in a 32-year-old woman presenting with intermittent headache and mild sensory disturbance. MR imaging revealed minimal asymmetric atrophy of the right hemisphere with a few nonspecific white matter hyperintensities. Diffusion tensor imaging and fiber tractography, however, demonstrated clear fiber derangement, especially in the sensory tract of the rig...
