Pediatric Radiology, 2009 Brainstem disconnection is a very rare neonatal abnormality, with only seven cases reported. We report a unique case of a neonate who presented at delivery with hypertonia, dysmorphic facial features, and respiratory distress, as well as numerous musculoskeletal and genitourinary abnormalities. MRI of the brain showed disconnection between the pons and

Continuous facial myokymia in multiple sclerosis
Clinical Case Reports, 2020 Facial myokymia is a clinical sign that can occur as a manifestation of demyelinating lesions. As seen in our patient with multiple sclerosis, acute‐onset continuous facial myokymia can be indicative of an active lesion and can have localizing value.

Auditory evoked potentials and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in evaluation of brainstem lesions in multiple sclerosis [PDF]
, 2013 OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the roles of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), auditory evoked potentials (AEP) and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) in the evaluation of brainstem involvement in multiple sclerosis (MS). -

Brainstem auditory evoked responses in brainstem infarction. [PDF]
Stroke, 1985 Brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) were recorded in 40 patients with clinically definite brainstem infarction, and results were compared to localizations from physical signs and CT scans. The BAER was abnormal in 92% of patients with evidence on physical examination of dysfunction of lateral structures in the pons or midbrain.

Brainstem Correlates of a Cold Pressor Test Measured by Ultra-High Field fMRI
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 IntroductionModern imaging techniques such as blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allow the non-invasive and indirect measurement of brain activity. Whether changes in signal intensity can be detected in small

The Brainstem-Informed Autism Framework: Early Life Neurobehavioral Markers
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2021 Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have long-term implications on functioning at multiple levels. In this perspective, we offer a brainstem-informed autism framework (BIAF) that traces the protracted neurobehavioral manifestations of ASD to early life ...
