A dissociation between the ability to recognize misoriented objects and to determine their orientation has been reported in a small number of patients with vascular lesions. In this article, we describe a 57-year-old man with probable Alzheimer' s disease who shows the same dissociation. Neuroimaging findings indicated marked hypometabolism in the posterior cortical regions, particularly the po...

Anosognosia for hemiplegia is the denial of the contralesional motor deficits that may follow brain damage. Although this disturbance has been reported in the neurological literature since the beginning of the last century, only few longitudinal studies have addressed the issue of the anatomical substrate of the disorder. Here we present a comprehensive review of the literature on anosognosia f...

What a useful tool the vascular anomalies classification described by Wassef et al would have been during my medical training! As a pediatric resident in the 1980s, I was frequently perplexed by the many red “birth marks” I was confronted with while performing newborn and well-child examinations. Despite a reassuring nod from attendings, who offered terms like “port wine stain” and “strawberry ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine if capsular repair used in conjunction with the Latarjet procedure results in significant alterations in glenohumeral rotational range of motion and translation. METHODS Glenohumeral rotational range of motion and translation were measured in eight cadaveric shoulders in 90° of abduction in both the scapular and coronal planes under the fo...

PURPOSE To compare magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography and arthroscopy as a means of assessing the severity of labral tear in anterior glenohumeral instability. METHODS 52 patients presenting with traumatic recurrent anterior shoulder instability were evaluated using MR arthrography; 30 shoulders with a labroligamentous lesion were treated with arthroscopic Bankart repair. Their MR arthrogra...
