Primary diffuse leptomeningeal gliomatosis

Relação entre degeneração do trato córtico-espinhal através de ressonância magn...

A esclerose lateral amiotrófica (ELA) é doença neurodegenerativa que afeta o trato córtico-espinhal. A escala funcional de avaliação em ELA (ALSFRS) é um questionário que quantifica clinicamente as perdas motoras, enquanto a imagem por tensor de difusão (DTI) avalia a integridade das fibras através da fração de anisiotropia (FA). No presente estudo, sete pacientes com ELA definida foram avaliados pela ALSFRS e ...

Somatosensory aura in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: semiologic characteristics...

INTRODUCTION: Somatosensory auras (SSAs) are more usually described in patients with parietal lobe epilepsy (PLE), producing more commonly a localized cutaneous tingling sensation, involving hands and fingers followed by tonic or clonic focal seizures. These usually originate in the contralateral hemisphere. Etiology includes dysplasias, tumours, ischemic or postencephalitic gliosis. However, other focal epilep...

Temporal lobe epilepsy with unilateral hippocampal sclerosis and contralateral ...

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and unilateral severe hippocampal sclerosis (HS) may have contralateral temporal scalp ictal onset. This has recently been called "burned-out hippocampus", which is believed to be a rare entity. In this study we report four patients with unilateral hippocampal sclerosis and contralateral ictal onset registered by scalp electrodes. We discuss the im...

Associação de malformação vascular e gliomas: estudo de quatro casos

Entre os pacientes operados no Hospital São Paulo e acompanhados pelo setor de neuro-oncologia no período de 1991 a 2000, avaliamos a apresentação clínica, aspectos de imagem e características histopatológicas de 4 pacientes (2 homens; idade entre 15 e 52 anos) cujo diagnóstico histológico foi malformação vascular associada a glioma. O quadro inicial foi cefaléia progressiva com características de hipertensão i...
