Department of Neurosurgery, Kumamoto General Hospital, Yatsushiro, Japan.
Background: Movement disorders are rare in brain tumors. We describe a 45-year-old woman with hemichorea, a concomitant contralateral sphenoid ridge meningioma.
Case Description: The meningioma enlarged as her hemichorea worsened, and after meningioma resection, the hemichorea gradually subsided.
Effect of ibudilast on the reciprocal inhibitory visual-vestibular interaction closely related to dizziness after cerebral ischemia.

Division of Neurosurgery, Kumamoto Neurosurgical Hospital, Kumamoto, Japan.
Background: Many patients with chronic cerebrovascular diseases suffer dizziness. Our earlier findings suggested that prolonged terms of dizziness episodes may decrease the regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the occipital visual cortex via a remote effect from the vestibular cortex.
Methods: We studied 9 patients who suffered episodes of dizziness since the onset of chronic cerebral ischemia.

Department of Neurosurgery, Kumamoto Neurosurgical Hospital, Kumamoto, Japan.
Background And Purpose: The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor perindopril (CAS 107133-36-8) helps to prevent stroke recurrence by improving cerebral vasomotor reactivity (CVR). Perindopril-induced vasoreactivity changes in different brain structures of patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease were compared.
Methods: The study population consisted of 6 hypertensive patients (mean age 65.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of ibudilast on patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease who experienced dizziness and depression.
- Patients received a daily dose of 30 mg ibudilast, and assessments for vertigo and depression were conducted at baseline, 2 months, and 6 months.
- Results showed that after 6 months, all patients reported resolution of dizziness, and significant improvements in depression were noted, along with an increase in cerebral blood flow in the right frontal and occipital regions.
MR imaging features of a scalp plexiform schwannoma.

February 2004
Department of Neurosurgery, Kumamoto University School of Medicine and Kumamoto Neurosurgical Hospital, Kumamoto, Japan.
Radiologic findings of a case with scalp plexiform schwannoma-an unusual variant of the benign, solitary schwannoma in the skin-are reported. T2-weighted MR imaging exhibited the most specific features: a multinodular pattern and hypointense capsule that separated the tumor from surrounding soft tissue. A surgical specimen was histologically confirmed as schwannoma.
