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.

A 3 year old boy who had acquired HIV infection transplacentally developed the classical features of AIDS encephalopathy, spastic diplegia and expressive aphasia. His computed tomogram showed cerebral atrophy. Treatment with zidovudine and weekly infusions of gammaglobulin led to considerable clinical improvement and an almost normal computed tomogram nine weeks later.

Sjögren-Larsson syndrome is an inherited neurocutaneous disorder characterized by ichthyosis, intellectual disability, and spastic diplegia or tetraplegia. Patients have deficient activity of fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase due to mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene, which results in altered lipid composition of their tissues. In this article, the author discusses new information about the biochemical p...

face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. in this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. the analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (ffp) in frontal image sequences. selected facial feature poi...

Introduction: The differential diagnosis of patients presenting with multiple cranial neuropathies, ataxia, and altered mentation is broad and includes immunologic, infectious, vasculitic and metabolic conditions. Primary considerations are Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis (BBE), the Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), Wernicke’s encephalopathy and botulism. The initial workup may be unrevealing....
