We report three cases of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) with hemiparesis. The first patient was a 73-year-old woman who presented with left hemiparesis, neck pain, and left shoulder pain. A cervical MRI scan revealed a left posterolateral epidural hematoma at the C3-C6 level. The condition of the patient improved after laminectomy and evacuation of the epidural hematoma. The second...

BACKGROUND In previous studies, the incidence of anosognosia for hemiparesis has varied between 17% and 58% in samples of brain damaged patients with hemiparesis. OBJECTIVE To determine whether this wide variation might be explained by the different criteria used for diagnosing anosognosia. METHODS 128 acute stroke patients with hemiparesis or hemiplegia were tested for anosognosia for hemi...

A spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma (SCEH) is a rare condition, which usually requires urgent treatment. However, unusual manifestations, such as hemiparesis, may lead to a misdiagnosis. We herein report a case of SCEH that presented with pure motor hemiparesis to discuss the appropriate and prompt diagnosis and treatment of such cases. An 84-year-old female was brought to our emergency de...

Background: Rasmussens encephalitis (RE) is rare progressive cerebral inflammatory disease predominantly affecting pediatric population. The key clinical features are seizure and hemiparesis. Seizure mostly focal with or without epileptia partialis continua (EPC). Diagnosis established by EEG showing epileptic discharges slowing, cortical atrophy in neuroimaging T cell dominated biopsy autopsy....

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that anosognosia for hemiparesis results from intrahemispheric disconnection. METHODS Using right carotid barbiturate injection as a model for anosognosia for hemiparesis, systematic attempts were made to modify deficit awareness by providing the left hemisphere with explicit information regarding left upper extremity function. RESULTS Experimental intervent...

Case presentation: 1: Female patient, hospitalized at 15 years for investigation of hemiplegia and right hemiparesis accompanied by vomiting fever without local history signs. At 16 similar condition, with unchanged resonance complete remission in two weeks. Genetic was performed hemiplegic migraine, identification heterozygosis mutation the ATP1A2 gene (c.2563G>A). 2: An 11-year-old female pat...
