Akut İnmeye Bağlı Gelişen Periferik Fasiyal Paralizilerin Supranükleer Lezyon Lokalizasyonlarının İncelenmesi
Abstract
Objectives: In central facial palsy developing after unilateral cerebral stroke, dysfunction of the upper facial muscles is usually not observed.
However, in some cases, weakness is reported to develop in the upper facial muscles due to stroke. This study aims to examine the supranuclear
lesion localizations of peripheral-type facial palsy induced by acute ischemic stroke.
Materials and Methods: Ten patients, who were hospitalized due to stroke in Clinic of Neurology, University of Health Sciences Turkey, Dışkapı
Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital between 2019 and 2021 and who were determined to have peripheral type facial palsy in the
examination findings, were included in our study. The radiological and clinical characteristics of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. Lesion
locations at brain diffusion-weighted imaging were examined. Demographic characteristics and ischemic stroke risk factors were determined by
scanning file notes.
Results: At diffusion-weighted imaging examinations of the patients, the lesion localizations were on corticobulbar tract reaching to pons from
cortex in 4 cases. In two cases, the total medial cerebral artery affected the irrigation area. While it was on precentral gyrus- primary motor cortex
