Abstract Objective It is known that stroke has a devastating power for the future of child. The aim of this study is to describe the visuospatial training findings of a child with hemorrhagic stroke in the right fronto-parieto-temporal area, showing the progress after 8 months of therapy initiated early after acquired neurological injury. Method Boy of 8 years suffered a sudden illness and was referred to the emergency hospital and diagnosed with hemorrhagic stroke in the right fronto-parieto-temporal area. Surgical procedures were performed. At the time of hospital discharge, there was guidance about the need for therapy care. Neuropsychological assessment revealed the severe deficit in visuospatial abilities in this child. A total of 62 visuospatial training sessions lasting 50 minutes were performed for 8 months. This therapy trains the child to do different visuospatial exercises both on motor and cognitive level. This training is built on the conceptual framework derived from the work of Luria’s theory of restoration of neurocognitive functions (Luria, 1963, 1974). Results Neuropsychological assessment of child has revealed apparent progress in performance of 4 subtests which are designed to assess visuospatial abilities (copying of a table, mental rotation task, Head subtest, reconstruction of 3-dimensional designs). Conclusion According to result of this case report it can be assumed that visuospatial training can be used as a prospective treatment approach for children with stroke which case deficit in the visuospatial abilities.

Abstract Objective Children with epilepsy can have delay in the development of neurocognitive abilities. It is important to receive the evidence for efficiency of different treatments that are aimed to help children with epilepsy. The goal of this study was to assess the impact of 16 weeks of visuospatial training on the visuospatial abilities in 7 years of age child with Rolandic epilepsy. Methods The child is 7 year old boy with Rolandic epilepsy. The neuropsychological assessment of child has revealed the deficit in visuospatial abilities. Child participated in 16 weeks of visuospatial training. A total of 42 therapy sessions lasting 50 minutes were performed. This training trains the child to do different visuospatial exercises both on motor and cognitive level. This training is built on the conceptual framework derived from the work of Luria’s theory of restoration of neurocognitive functions (Luria, 1963, 1974). Results Neuropsychological assessment of child after the intervention period has revealed apparent progress in performance of 3 subtests from Luria’s neuropsychological assessment battery for children which designed to asses visuospatial functions (Head subtest, mental rotation, design copying). Conclusion According to result of this case report it can be assumed that visuospatial training can be used as a prospective approach for development of visuospatial functions in children with Rolandic epilepsy. However, we need to prove this result using visuospatial training for children with Rolandic epilepsy who suffer from deficit in visuospatial abilities.

Abstract Objective It is known that children with epilepsy can have deficit in neurocognitive abilities. It is of great significance to receive the evidence for efficiency of different treatments that are aimed to help children with epilepsy. The goal of this study was to reveal the impact of 12 weeks of motor sequencing training on the executive abilities in a child with Rolandic epilepsy. Methods The child is 7 year old boy. The neuropsychological assessment of child has revealed the mild deficit in executive abilities. Child participated in 12 weeks of motor sequencing training. A total of 36 therapy sessions lasting 50 minutes were performed.This therapy trains the child to plan, sequence and process information more effectively through repetition of goal-directed movements. This programme is built on the conceptual framework derived from the work of Luria’s theory of restoration of neurocognitive functions (Luria, 1963, 1974). Results Neuropsychological assessment (NEPSY) of child after the intervention period has revealed apparent progress in performance of 4 subtests which are designed to assess executive abilities and attention (Tower, Auditory Attention and Response Set, Visual Attention, Statue). Conclusion According to result of this case report it can be assumed that motor sequencing training can be used as a prospective treatment approach for development of executive abilities in children with Rolandic epilepsy.

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of the present study is to see if the changes in the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) experienced by restrictive anorexia nervosa (AR) and bulimia nervosa (BN) patients, following the exposure to their own body image, persist at follow-up.MethodsThree single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) were performed on nine patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of AR, 13 with BP, and 12 controls: at rest, following a neutral stimulus, and after exposure to their previously filmed whole body image. Body dissatisfaction was measured by means of the Body Dissatisfaction Questionnaire (BSQ). One year later the same assessment was repeated.ResultsFollowing the exposure to their own body image, BN showed an increase in body dissatisfaction, which was associated with the increase in the rCBF of the Right Temporal Area. Those changes persisted at follow-up.DiscussionMore specific long term therapies are needed for the treatment of the averse response showed by ED patients to their own body image exposure that is associated with the hyperactivation of the right temporal area when they are confronted with their whole body image.

Visual Motion Detection

After sensory loss, the deprived cortex can reorganize to process information from the remaining modalities, a phenomenon known as cross-modal reorganization. In blind people this cross-modal processing supports compensatory behavioural enhancements in the nondeprived modalities. Deaf people also show some compensatory visual enhancements, but a direct relationship between these abilities and cross-modally reorganized auditory cortex has only been established in an animal model, the congenitally deaf cat, and not in humans. Using T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, we measured cortical thickness in the planum temporale, Heschl’s gyrus and sulcus, the middle temporal area MT+, and the calcarine sulcus, in early-deaf persons. We tested for a correlation between this measure and visual motion detection thresholds, a visual function where deaf people show enhancements as compared to hearing. We found that the cortical thickness of a region in the right hemisphere planum temporale, typically an auditory region, was greater in deaf individuals with better visual motion detection thresholds. This same region has previously been implicated in functional imaging studies as important for functional reorganization. The structure-behaviour correlation observed here demonstrates this area’s involvement in compensatory vision and indicates an anatomical correlate, increased cortical thickness, of cross-modal plasticity.

Evidence for normal development of linguistic but poor visuo-perceptual skills has been obtained with the neuropsychological assessment of a case of early left-brain injury. Data suggest the transfer of linguistic functions from the left to the right hemisphere at the expense of visuo-perceptual capacities for which the right hemisphere is potentially specialized.

Background. Contradictory results have been reported for transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as treatment for tinnitus. The recently developed high-definition tDCS (HD tDCS) uses smaller electrodes to limit the excitation to the desired brain areas. Objective. The current study consisted of a retrospective part and a prospective part, aiming to compare 2 tDCS electrode placements and to explore effects of HD tDCS by matched pairs analyses. Methods. Two groups of 39 patients received tDCS of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) or tDCS of the right supraorbital–left temporal area (RSO-LTA). Therapeutic effects were assessed with the tinnitus functional index (TFI), a visual analogue scale (VAS) for tinnitus loudness, and the hyperacusis questionnaire (HQ) filled out at 3 visits: pretherapy, posttherapy, and follow-up. With a new group of patients and in a similar way, the effects of HD tDCS of the right DLPFC were assessed, with the tinnitus questionnaire (TQ) and the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) added. Results. TFI total scores improved significantly after both tDCS and HD tDCS (DLPFC: P < .01; RSO-LTA: P < .01; HD tDCS: P = .05). In 32% of the patients, we observed a clinically significant improvement in TFI. The 2 tDCS groups and the HD tDCS group showed no differences on the evolution of outcomes over time (TFI: P = .16; HQ: P = .85; VAS: P = .20). Conclusions. TDCS and HD tDCS resulted in a clinically significant improvement in TFI in 32% of the patients, with the 3 stimulation positions having similar results. Future research should focus on long-term effects of electrical stimulation.

We presented two rare cases of mediastinal tumor encasing the right coronary artery (RCA), one with recurrent metastatic thymoma and another with primary poorly differentiated neoplasm. Different degrees and locations of RCA involvement were noted. The treatment approach varied from conservative to surgical. Coronary artery involvement by mediastinal tumors is important to be investigated with imaging as it may guide the surgical planning.

Abstract Trigeminal schwannomas are benign lesions arising from the Schwann cells of the trigeminal nerve. This is an unusual tumor that accounts for less than 0.4% of intracranial pathologies, even though they are the second most frequent schwannoma after the vestibular schwannoma. The tumor spreads along the natural course of the V nerve at its cisternal portion, along the ganglion inside Meckel's cave or through its peripheral division. Even though the tumor can reach great size and become multicompartmental. We present a 51-yr-old woman, with an history of 3 mo of incapacitating facial pain, that was found on examination to be on the territory of the third division of the trigeminal nerve on the right side. The MRI depicted a large homogeneous enhancing lesion at the base of the right middle fossa with extension through the petrous apex to the most superior and medial part of the posterior fossa. The patient was operated by the senior author, through a middle fossa approach, dissecting between the two layers of the middle fossa dura (the apparent inner and the true outer layer of the cavernous sinus), the so called middle fossa “peeling”. We achieved total resection of the tumor, but the patient presented after surgery with facial nerve paresis. This is thought to be related to geniculate ganglion manipulation, as it was unprotect by bone at the middle fossa and the patient maintained lacrimal function (post-geniculate alteration). It resolved completely after 6 mo. The patient consented to publication of her images.
