ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN CEREBELLAR DEGENERATIVE LESIONS

Electroencephalographic changes in cerebellar degenerative lesions.

Following the rapid extension of electroencephalography in the investigation of all forms of intracranial affection in clinical neurology, it soon became apparent that tumours in the posterior fossa greatly complicated the electroencephalogram. Numerous early publications, including the work of Grey Walter (1936, 1937, and 1938) and that of Bickford and Baldes (1947), gave conflicting informati...

Electroencephalographic Changes Associated with Cerebellar Hemisphere Tumours.

Cerebellar cortex lesions in cases with subtentorial neoplastic changes.

The aim of the study was to perform neuropathological examinations of the brains of children and adults with various types of neoplasms situated in the subtentorial area. In view of the varied opinions on the central nervous system (CNS) lesions in the course of neoplastic diseases, it was interesting to analyze the cerebellar cortex damage. The study material included fifteen primary tumors in...

Deficits of smooth pursuit initiation in patients with degenerative cerebellar lesions.

It is well known that cerebellar dysfunction can lead to an impairment of eye velocity during sustained pursuit tracking of continuously moving visual target. We have now studied the initiation of smooth pursuit eye movements towards predictable and randomized visual step-ramp stimuli in six patients with degenerative cerebellar lesions and six age-matched healthy controls using the magnetic sc...

Clinical and electroencephalographic investigations in myoclonic cerebellar dyssynergia.

Clinical and anatomical evidence hitherto published on Ramsay Hunt's (1921) myoclonic cerebellar dyssynergia has not succeeded in establishing the nosological place of this clinical entity, which van Bogaert considers to be a cerebellar syndrome with a superimposed myoclonic epilepsy. However, the clinical and electroencephalographic evidence does not permit such a conclusion. The case publishe...
