Palatal myoclonus and inferior olivary lesions: MRI-pathologic correlation
J Comput Assist Tomogr.
1992 Jan-Feb.
Abstract
In a patient with palatal myoclonus, MR imaging demonstrated bilateral hyperintense lesions in the ventral part of the medulla. Microscopic examination of the inferior olives showed gliosis, enlargement and vacuolation of the neurons, and demyelinization.
