Focal neurological deficits may be caused by a variety of medical conditions such as head trauma, [1] tumors or stroke; or by various diseases such as meningitis or encephalitis or as a side effect of certain medications such as those used in anesthesia. [2] Neurological soft signs are a group of non-focal neurologic signs. [3]
Due to the massive amount of diversity in both the cognitive and motor functions that occur within the frontal lobes, there is an immense variety in the types of symptoms that can arise from epileptic seizures based on the side and topography of the focal origin. In general these symptoms can range anywhere from asymmetric and abnormal body ...
Perisylvian syndrome is a rare neurological disease characterized by damage to the sylvian fissure (lateral sulcus), an area in the brain involved in language and speech. . The main symptoms are difficulty chewing and swallowing, low muscle tone in the face and tongue, speech and language development disorders, and epile
Focal tonic seizures are characterized by sustained muscle contraction of facial, limb, axial, and other muscle groups. It often involves asymmetric positioning of the neck and trunk and appears as abnormal posturing of a single limb. Horizontal eye deviation may or may not be involved. [27] They may be symmetric, asymmetric, focal, or multifocal.
Asymmetry in the Sylvian fissure (also known as the lateral sulcus), which separates the frontal and parietal lobes from the temporal lobe, was one of the first incongruencies to be discovered. Its anatomical variances are related to the size and location of two areas of the human brain that are important for language processing, Broca's area ...
Symptoms: Triad of bulging eyes, breakdown of bone, diabetes insipidus [1] Other symptoms eg. bone pain, facial asymmetry, ear infections, teeth/gum problems, liver and lung disease signs. [1] [2] Usual onset: Age 2-6 [2] Causes: Genetic mutation in the MAPKinase pathway [1] Diagnostic method: MRI, Tissue biopsy: Treatment: Surgery ...
Lesions in the area of cerebellopontine angle cause signs and symptoms secondary to compression of nearby cranial nerves, including cranial nerve V (trigeminal), cranial nerve VII (facial), and cranial nerve VIII (vestibulocochlear). The most common cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumor is a vestibular schwannoma affecting cranial nerve VIII (80% ...
Prognosis of epileptic spasms and IESS depends predominately upon aetiology, and less so on treatment. Unfavourable prognostic factors include: symptomatic aetiology, early onset (prior to 3 months), presence of other seizure types prior to onset of infantile spasms, poor treatment response, EEG asymmetry, absence of typical hypsarrhythmia, and ...
