Clinical-radiologic correlations in pure sensory stroke

Shuzo Shintani, MD

From the Department of Neurology, Toride Kyodo General Hospital, Ibaraki, Japan.

Address correspondence and reprint requests to Dr. Shuzo Shintani, Department of Neurology, Toride Kyodo General Hospital, 2-1-1 Hongoh, Toride City, 302 Ibaraki, Japan.

Clinical-radiologic correlations in 27 patients with pure sensory strokes(PSS) were retrospectively studied. Dysesthesias from pontine lesions were more severe than those from thalamic lesions. Pontine PSS but not thalamic PSS selectively affected vibration and position sense, leaving pinprick and temperature perceptions intact. Thalamic lesions but not pontine tended to spare the trunk.

Received November 3, 1997. Accepted in final form January 23, 1998.
