Abstract

The cortical motor hand area is located in precentral gyrus and it is like inverted omega or horizontal epsilon in shape. This area of pre­ central gyrus lesions and especially small corcical infarcts can cause to isolated hand weakness. Hand weakness may occur in all fingers or it is sometimes restricted to radial-sided fingers or ulnar-sided fingers. At this case, we present a 70-year-old male with isolated hand weak­ness. He had uniform weakness in right hand's all fingers with smail cor­ tical infarcts on the hand knob area due to plaque of the ipsilateral internal carotid artery. However small cortical infarcts on the hand knob is rare but cases with isolated hand weakness should be checked for cortical infarcts

Özet

Elin motor korteksteki temsili, presantral girusta ters dönmüş omega veya epsilon şeklindedir. Presantral girusta yer alan bu bölgenin lezyonları, özellikle de küçük kortikal infarktlar izole el güçsüzlüğüne neden olabilirler. Eldeki güçsüzlük bütün el parmak­larını etkileyebileceği gibi, ulnar veya radiyal taraf parmaklarda daha belirgin de olabilir. Bu olguda, sağ el parmaklarının tümünü içine alan akut gelişen el kuvvetsizliği ile gelen 70 yaşında erkek olgu sunulmuştur. Sağ elin tüm parmaklarında belirgin kuvvetsizliği olan olgunun, beyin görüntülemesinde kortikal el bölgesinde infarkt tespit edilmiştir. Olgunun lezyon tarafındaki carotis arter bulbus parçasında tespit edilen plaktan kopan bir emboli infarkt nedeni olarak düşünülmüştür. Elin motor bölgesindeki küçük kortikal infarktlar nadir görülmekle beraber el parmaklarında izole güçsüzlük olan olgular küçük kor­tikal infarkt yönünden dikkatle incelenmelidir.
