Patients with right parietal damage demonstrate a variety of attentional deficits in their left visual field contralateral to their lesion. We now report that patients with right lesions also show a severe loss in the perception of apparent motion in their "good" right visual field ipsilateral to their lesion. Three tests of attention were conducted, and losses were found only in the contralesi...

Reorganization of motor execution and imagination networks was studied in six patients with unilateral dystonia secondary to a subcortical stroke and compared with seven control subjects using fMRI. Patients performed imagined and real auditory-cued hand movements. Movements of the dystonic hand resulted in overactivity in bilateral motor, premotor, and prefrontal cortex, insula, precuneus, and...

We report a rare case of stage III bilateral ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma in a teenage girl with omental deposit presenting initially only with complaints of low back pain o few weeks. USG, contrast CT and high serum CA 125 suggested an ovarian neoplasm and subsequently treated by total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and omentectomy. Histopathology together wit...

We report a case of bilateral metastatic renal hemangiopericytoma. A 37-year-old Caucasian male presented in 1993 with intracranial hemangiopericytoma. Subsequent metastatic disease noted years later include bilateral renal hemangiopericytoma 10 years after initial presentation. To our knowledge, this is only the second reported case of bilateral metastatic renal hemangiopericytoma.

Syphilis is an infectious disease occurring through a series of frequently overlapping stages. It can impair the cardiovascular and neurological system. In 30% of the non treated patients, syphilis develops its tertiary form. We report a case of a 46-year-old male patient admitted due to edema pulmonary and acute coronary syndrome with left bundle branch block, submitted to fibrinolytic therapy...

The clinical syndrome of a 65-year-old patient with a slit-shaped right-sided meso-diencephalic lesion was analysed. A cerebellar syndrome with limb-kinetic ataxia, intention tremor and hypotonicity in all extremities as well as ataxic dysarthria was found. The disruption of the two cerebello-(rubro)-thalamic pathways probably explained the signs of bilateral cerebellar dysfunction. The uncross...

•Incidental finding of a fallopian tube lesion at the time of bilateral salpingectomy•Histopathological appearance not consistent with mucinous or serous carcinoma, appearance of mesothelioma•Very rare known primary neoplasm of tubal mesothelium, favours an indolent course•Recommendation for prophylactic hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy•If nil further spread, generally nil further treatm...

The anterior biopercular syndrome is characterized by facio-pharyngo-glosso-masticatory diplegia, with automatic dissociation of movements. It generally translates bilateral opercular lesion, often of vascular etiology. There are very few cases described with unilateral lesions. We present the case of a patient with a bilateral anterior opercular syndrome caused by unilateral infarction.

Wall-eyed bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (WEBINO) is a rare disorder consisting of a bilateral adduction deficit and primary gaze position exotropia. Associated with bilateral medial longitudinal fasciculus lesions, it has been mostly reported in patients with multiple sclerosis and brainstem stroke. A 72-year-old man with characteristic clinical features of progressive supranuclear pal...

Case Report A man aged 28 years was referred to me on March 7, 1962. He had recently been refracted by his optician who noted pigmentary changes in both fundi. He had worn glasses since 1952. He had never noticed any defect in his corrected vision and had not experienced any difficulty in dim light. There was no family history of eye trouble and no consanguinity in his parents. His general heal...
