Hemiballism was observed in a 77-year-old woman with Parksinson disease after a contralateral lenticular infarct without apparent involvement of the subthalamic nucleus. Parkinsonian signs ipsilateral to the hemiballism remained abolished despite subsequent nearly complete recovery from the hyperkinesias. It is argued that clinical events were due to a single ischemic lesion of the putamen-pallidum complex.

Purpose: To assess zonular integrity in phakic patients post vitrectomy using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).
Design: Prospective, comparative, nonrandomized, double-masked, paired eye study.
Methods: We used ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) to evaluate phakic patients with a history of unilateral pars-plana vitrectomy.
Topographical anatomy of the subthalamic region with special interest in the human medial forebrain bundle.

Objective: The medial forebrain bundle (MFB) is a novel promising deep brain stimulation (DBS) target in severe affective disorders that courses through the subthalamic region according to tractography studies. Its potential therapeutic role arose in connection with the development of hypomania during stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in Parkinson's disease, offering an alternative explanation for the occurrence of this side effect. However, until now its course exclusively described by tractography had not yet been confirmed by any anatomical method.

Purpose: To investigate the between-eye differences of the crystalline lens in subjects with unilateral high myopia and assess its contribution to the interocular refractive error disparity.
Methods: Children and adolescents with unilateral high myopia, defined as cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE) ≤ -5D in one eye and ≥ -3D in the other eye, were recruited. Ocular biometric parameters, including axial length (AL) and lens thickness (LT), were measured by IOLMaster 700.
Mechanical thrombectomy for acute paradoxical cerebral embolism due to pulmonary arteriovenous malformation: A case report and review of literature.

Background: We report a case of acute occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) due to pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM), for which mechanical thrombectomy was performed and a good outcome was achieved.
Case Description: A 59-year-old woman presented with severe right hemiplegia and dysarthria, and a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 10. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diffusion-weighted imaging revealed high-signal areas in the left lenticular nucleus to the corona radiata, and right temporal lobe.
