Sensory-motor deficit in a peripheral nerve pattern due to brain lesion is rarely documented. We report on seven patients with a clinical manifestation of sensory-motor deficit, imitating peripheral nerve involvement, due to lacunar brain infarcts verified by brain computed tomography scan. Five of the patients had an ulnar nerve-like deficit and two median nerve-like deficits. The infarcts were located in the thalamus and the corona radiata. No clinical or electrophysiological evidence for peripheral nerve involvement was found. The unusual peripheral nerve pattern of lesions caused by lacunar brain infarcts can be defined as an additional lacunar syndrome and must be taken into consideration in the clinical evaluation of peripheral nerve deficits with normal nerve conduction velocity.

D008297 Male Males
D008475 Median Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C6 to T1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand.

D009435 Synaptic Transmission The communication from a NEURON to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a SYNAPSE. In chemical synaptic transmission, the presynaptic neuron releases a NEUROTRANSMITTER that diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific synaptic receptors, activating them. The activated receptors modulate specific ion channels and/or second-messenger systems in the postsynaptic cell. In electrical synaptic transmission, electrical signals are communicated as an ionic current flow across ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES.

D002544 Cerebral Infarction The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).
