PURPOSE We assessed the influence of the medial frontal lobe on micturition after chemical stimulation. We also examined the relation between the medial frontal lobe and the rostral pontine reticular formation, which has a strong inhibitory effect on micturition. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 35 female rats underwent continuous cystometry. Bladder activity changes were examined after physi...

A case of frontal sinusitis with osteomyelitis its posterior wall producing lobe brain abscess is presented, whereby the dehiscence was exposed by external sinostomy an ENT surgeon and then, through dehiscence, drained a neurosurgeon. This uncommon technique draining where no bone craniotomy required. approach yields least damage to cerebral tissue as very close sinus drain has travel minimal i...

Two patients with unilateral spatial neglect caused by right frontal lobe lesions underwent cerebral blood flow studies. A 54-year-old, right-handed woman developed left hemiplegia and frontal lobe neglect associated with cerebral haemorrhage after surgical excision of a frontal tumour. A 66-year-old, right-handed woman developed a haemorrhage in the right frontal lobe caused by rupture of an a...

99mTC (single photon emission computed tomography) (HMPAO SPECT) was carried out during 16 frontal-lobe seizures in 15 patients. Focal changes in regional cerebral blood flow were seen during all seizures. In 9 of 16 seizures SPECT showed hyperperfusion localized to one frontal lobe. In 1 of 16 seizures ictal hypoperfusion was seen in one frontal lobe. In 2 of 16 seizures there was hyperperfusi...
