Mutism and neurobehaviour symptoms are well known features, which may occur following surgical excision of mass lesion of various histopathologies in the posterior cranial fossa, during the postoperative period. Mutism may be rarely associated with ataxia of eyelid closure and paresis of external ocular muscles. However, internuclear ophthalmoparesis is not reported in association with mutism f...

Recent neuroimaging studies indicate that learning a novel motor skill induces plastic changes in the brain structures of both gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) that are associated with a specific practice. We previously reported an increased volume of vermian lobules VI-VII (declive, folium, and tuber) in elite basketball athletes who require coordination for dribbling and shooting a ball...

A non-fluorescent Y chromosome was observed in a phenotypic male with 45,X/46,XYq-mosaicism and mixed gonadal dysgenesis. Q-banding of the father's chromosomes showed a normally fluorescent Y. Measurements of the Y chromosomes in the father and the patient showed a significant difference in length. Evidence for translocation of the Y fluorescent segment to another chromosome was lacking in the ...

Strains of Drosophila melanogaster bearing the male recombination factor 23.5 MRF induce hybrid dysgenesis in a way which is highly reminiscent of the P-M system, and, most probably, causally related to the activity of the transposable element hobo. We have investigated potential interactions between the two systems of hybrid dysgenesis by studying mixed lines derived from bidirectional crosses...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of age and sex on the size of the cerebellar hemispheres, the cerebellar vermis, and the pons in healthy adults. METHODS We estimated the volumes of the cerebellar hemispheres (excluding the vermis and the peduncles), the cross-sectional area of the vermis, and the cross-sectional area of the ventral pons from MR images obtained i...

Abstract Background Much interest has not been placed on the role of chromosomal abnormalities in pathogenesis and rising prevalence infertility recent times. This review was conducted to renew public basis infertility, testing, management. Main text Meiotic post-zygotic mitotic errors may cause infertility-predisposing abnormalities, including Klinefelter syndrome, Jacob Triple X Turner Down s...

PURPOSE To describe the MR imaging features of cerebellar medulloblastoma in the adult. MATERIALS AND METHODS The neuroimages and records of 15 adults with proved cerebellar medulloblastoma were retrospectively evaluated. In 12 patients, preoperative MR scans were reviewed; nine had Gd-DTPA-enhanced scans. RESULTS Of the 12 tumors evaluated preoperatively, eight were hemispheric, two hemisp...

Abstract The incidence of perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (PMSAH) is rare, 0.5 in 100,000 adults. It comprises 5 to 10% all SAHs and approximately 33% nonaneurysmal SAH. Quadrigeminal SAH a variant (PMNASAH) that not well described the literature. may comprise up one-fifth PMNASAH cases carries similar benign prognosis. This PMSAH characterized by blood centered quadrigeminal cistern ...
