Changes in somatosensory evoked potentials following an experimental focal ischaemic lesion in thalamus
(Elsevier, 1988)
Experiments have been performed to produce localized thalamic ischaemia in baboons anaesthetised with alpha-chloralose. Somatosensory evoked potentials to median nerve stimulation were recorded in the medial lemniscus. VPL ...
The use of ultrasound during spinal cord surgery
(Springer-Verlag; Société Internationale de Chirurgie, 1987-10)
Intraoperative spinal ultrasonography is now considered an indispensable tool in many operations on the spine and spinal cord. Using ultrasonography, surgeons can now easily find and evaluate lesions within the spinal cord, ...
Anterior cervical osteophytes as a cause of progressive dysphagia
(Springer-Verlag, 1989-03)
An uncommon cause of progressive dysphagia may be large cervical osteophytes impinging upon the cervical esophagus. Dysphagia may be due to the mechanical mass effect of a large anterior osteophyte, trapping the esophagus ...
Cerebrospinal fluid abdominal cyst. Computed tomographic resolution of a sonographic dilemma
(Elsevier, 1984-04)
A case of subhepatic cerebrospinal fluid cyst, an uncommon complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting, is presented. Sonography could not reliably prove shunt tubing to be entering the cystic spaces. Results of computed ...
Seeing but not recognizing
(Elsevier, 1986)
Visual recognition disturbances are caused by lesions that affect visual cortex as well as white matter connections between visual cortex and temporal and parietal cortex. Homonymous visual field defects are often present ...
Choroid plexus cyst in the lateral ventricle causing obstructive symptoms in an adult
(Elsevier, 1981-02)
This case of a rare symptomatic choroid plexus cyst in the lateral ventricle, which presented with papilledema and decreased vision, is the first such lesion found in an adult. Five earlier reported cases, all in children, ...
Giant arteriovenous malformation of the vein of Galen in an adult
(Elsevier, 1984-10)
A case of a large vein of Galen malformation in a 29-year-old man is presented. A two-staged surgical procedure, first with ligation of the feeding vessels, and followed later by thrombectomy, allowed successful surgical ...
Modification of focal cerebral ischemia by cardiac output augmentation
(Elsevier, 1985-11)
Intravascular volume expansion has been employed successfully for treatment of ischemic stroke from cerebral vasospasm and from cerebrovascular occlusive disease. The physiologic mechanism responsible for this success has ...
The application of ultrasound during brain surgery
(Springer-Verlag; Société Internationale de Chirurgie, 1987-10)
The use of intraoperative, real-time ultrasound imaging during intracranial neurosurgical procedures is described. This technique has proven to be extremely useful for localization of a wide variety of deep and superficial ...
