Foreign Accent Syndrome Mimicked By Garcin Syndrome With Spontaneous Resolution, Michael Hoffmann
Foreign Accent Syndrome Mimicked By Garcin Syndrome With Spontaneous Resolution, Michael Hoffmann
Neurology Faculty Publications
An English speaking women developed a French accent, without any aphasic syndromes, in conjunction with multiple left sided cranial nerve deficits, temporally related to cranial trauma. Extensive testing with multimodality magnetic resonance imaging, cerebrospinal fluid and laboratory analysis was unremarkable. She was followed over a 3 year period during which her French accent resolved as did the majority of her multiple unilateral cranial neuropathies. The neurological diagnoses included a foreign accent syndrome attributed to a reversible Garcin syndrome.
Isolated Right Temporal Lobe Stroke Patients Present With Geschwind Gastaut Syndrome, Frontal Network Syndrome And Delusional Misidentification Syndromes, Michael Hoffmann

Background: Right temporal lobe lesion syndrome elicitation presents a clinical challenge. Aside from occasional covert quadrantanopias, heralding elementary neurological deficits are absent.Aim: Isolated right and left temporal lobe stroke patients were analyzed for the panoply of known temporal and frontal cognitive and neuropsychiatric syndromes.Methods: Temporal lobe stroke patients were analyzed, derived from a dedicated cognitive stroke registry. Patients were screened by a validated bedside cognitive battery and a neuropsychological test battery, including the Bear Fedio Inventory for diagnosis of the Geschwind Gastaut (GG) syndrome, frontal network syndrome testing (FNS), emotional intelligence testing and delusional misidentification syndromes (DMIS). NIH …
Etiology Of Frontal Network Syndromes In Isolated Subtentorial Stroke, Michael Hoffmann, Lourdes Benes Cases
Etiology Of Frontal Network Syndromes In Isolated Subtentorial Stroke, Michael Hoffmann, Lourdes Benes Cases
Neurology Faculty Publications
Background: The neurobiology of the frontal network syndrome (FNS) that may occur with isolated subtentorial stroke is unknown.Aim: Evaluate for frontal network syndromes in young people post subtentorial stroke who have recovered neurologically and compare to a stroke lesion group least likely to manifest frontal network syndromes.Methods: Young people (18–49 years) with isolated cerebellar or brainstem subtentorial stroke (ST) that had recovered to independency (Rankin score ࣘ 2) with minimal or no residual neurological deficit (NIHSS ࣘ 4) with neurological recovery enabling resumption of former employment. Comparison was made to age and education matched young people with posterior …
