Anatomical and functional hemispheric lateralization originates from differential gene expression leads to asymmetric structural brain development, which initially appears in the perisylvian regions by 26 gestational weeks (GWs). In this vivo neuroimaging study, we demonstrated a predominant pattern of temporal lobe (TL) asymmetry large cohort human fetuses between 18 37 GWs. Over two-thirds showed larger, left-sided TL, combined with earlier appearance right superior sulcus 23 GWs (vs. 25...
Abstract Purpose Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a surgical procedure that can lead to complications and requires detailed preoperative planning. This study aimed provide more accurate understanding of the anatomy ventricle location important structures improve safety success ETV. Methods We measured stereotactic coordinates six points interest relative predefined reference point in 23 cadaver brain hemi-sections, 200 normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, 24 hydrocephalic...
Although neuroanatomy is considered an essential requirement in medical curriculum, its teaching has undergone many changes recent years, with most schools starting to implement integrated approach. The current paper describes the comparative evaluation of knowledge scores students who attended two different pedagogic approaches Faculty Medicine University Porto.Forty fourth-year a traditional stand-alone approach and 42 third-year completed written test knowledge.Although there were some...
In Brief Study Design. Case report. Objective. To describe a case of subacute radiculopathy resulting from spontaneous hemorrhage into lumbar ganglion cyst. Summary Background Data. Ganglion and synovial cysts the spine are becoming more frequent, they generally associated with degenerative spinal disease. Few cases juxtafacet after trauma or anticoagulation therapy have been described in literature. Methods. A cyst is presented. Results. 61-year-old man presented 2-month history...
Since its original description 2 decades ago, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome has been reported in children with several predisposing conditions. Epidemiologic data of hematologic malignancies is still scarce. Herein, we describe the clinical and radiologic features along outcome follow-up complicating treatment malignancies. Ten patients a median age 6.3 years were diagnosed syndrome. Six them undergoing chemotherapy remaining 4 at 37, 52, 78, 857 days after allogenic...
Cerebrovascular diseases remain a critical focus of medical research due to their substantial impact on global health. Carotid stenosis, often associated with atherosclerosis and advancing age, profoundly affects cerebral blood supply white matter integrity. This study aims assess how age-related changes (ARWMC) score, applied cortex Basal Ganglia, relates cardiovascular cerebrovascular events in patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
General practitioners are responsible for the management of an increasing number patients with neurological illness, and thus a solid education in neurosciences is necessary component their training. This study examines effects intensive clinical neuroanatomy course on twenty general practice residents’ perceptions, attitudes, knowledge. A knowledge test was completed by participants control group at four different time points. The were asked to answer questionnaire about reasons signing up...
In Brief Study Design. Case report. Objective. To describe a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia the first cervical vertebra. Summary Background Data. Fibrous is disorder bone development unknown etiology in which cancellous replaced with tissue, resulting expansion bone. The disease presents either or polyostotic form. Although can involve any body, vertebral involvement quite unusual. Methods. A vertebra presented. Results. 53 year-old woman presented 1-month history occipito-cervicalgia...
This paper shows a study about biometrics characteristics for recognition/classification and presents how it is used individual recognition. The approach uses the automated fingerprint recognition based on minutia, which are extracted directly from finger prints methodology to its artificial neural networks (ANN) system. neocognitron model was ANN chosen. Inasmuch as originally implemented handwritten characters recognition, possible verify usefulness another kind of pattern Finally...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is commonly associated with marked memory deficits; however, nonamnestic variants have been consistently described as well. Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) a progressive degenerative condition in which posterior regions of the brain are predominantly affected, therefore resulting pattern distinctive and visuospatial symptoms, such apraxia, alexia, spatial neglect. Despite growing number studies on cognitive neural bases visual variant AD, intervention remain...
Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a rare subtype of sarcoma with high rates local recurrence and distant metastasis. Morphologically, it resembles other mesenchymal non-mesenchymal tumors, making diagnostic challenge. Treatment relies mostly on surgery adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy (RT). A 46-year-old woman who presented lumbar pain weight loss underwent computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission...
Osteoblastoma is an uncommon benign bone tumor that accounts for 1% of all primary tumors. Well documented in the spine and long bones, it rarely found skull, namely sphenoid bone, with only five cases reported literature. We report a case 11-year-old girl histologically confirmed osteoblastoma unusual location atypical aspect on imaging studies.
ABSTRACT Undergraduate medical curricula are currently undergoing a process of reform, with such changes including the field neuroanatomy. In this context, purpose our study was to assess status undergraduate neuroanatomy studies in Portuguese schools provide basis for more informed discussion on curricular changes. With all seven participating study, four them were shown incorporate modern integrated curriculum and other three conventional discipline-based curriculum. Our therefore shows...
Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is characterized by chronic twitching or of one side the face. It affects muscles activated facial nerve. HFS believed to result from irritation nerve at its exit brainstem and most cases are associated with a small vascular loop compression. Rarely it vertebral artery dolichoectasia.We report three whose magnetic resonance imaging angiography revealed dolichoectatic arteries compressing causing HFS. These were selected group patients dystonic outpatient clinics,...
