BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of the study is to search the lesion localization of the pure isolated facial paresis-dysarthria syndrome in patients who were admitted to our neurology clinic in a prospective study. METHODS Over a period of six years, the patients who had no prominent sensorimotor dysfunction were examined by neurologists and underwent computerized tomography (CT) and/or magnetic...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation was performed in 20 patients with pontine infarction who had initially some degree of hemiparesis. Only patients with a well defined lesion on magnetic resonance imaging that was appropriate for the neurological signs were included. Recordings were made from the abductor pollicis brevis muscle (APB) bilaterally. The degree of hand paresis was estimated clinical...

Vestibular schwannoma is a benign and common slow-growing tumor that develops on the vestibular divisions of cranial nerve VIII. Some risk factors may enhance intratumoral hemorrhage which leads to management early surgical procedures. Hence, we describe 57-year-old man presented with hearing loss 5*8 mm schwannoma. Eight months later, patient was referred headache, nausea vomiting, right hemif...

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.

Varicella zoster virus (VZV) lies dormant in our spinal dorsal root ganglia until reactivation occurs and causes herpes zoster. VZV can spread from the to neighboring ventral cause subsequent segmental paresis. In this case report, we present of a 78-year-old female who was hospitalized after she developed right upper extremity paresis altered mental status four days eruption vesicular rash inv...
