| Popis: | A 48-year-old hypertensive man with signs and symptoms of pseudobulbar paralysis was Ultimately found to be sLiffering from the operculum syndrome. Recognition of this syndrome is important in that: (a) it may be caused by a localized cortical lesion amenable to treatment; (b) some of the symptoms carry a good prognosis as opposed to those in pseudobulbar paralysis; and (c) the operculum syndrome usually has a-more favourable prognosis since there is no associated mental impairment or sphincter disturbances. |
