The outcome and prognosis of this medical condition are variable; mainly involving functional decline from neuro-musculoskeletal upset.

In comparison with admission in general neurology ward, we assessed the outcome of such patients based on stroke care unit (SCU) versus general neurol...

Acute Finger Paralysis: A Case Report of Cortical Ischemic Stroke

Somatotopic distribution of motor cortex and sensory fibers is theoretically fully understood. We present a case of stroke, mimicking peripheral palsy, with finger paralysis attributed to cortical lesion. The patient’s brain MRI may be useful to further understand the somatotopic representation of fingers in precentral and postcentral gyrus.
