Two distinct subtypes of right temporal variant frontotemporal dementia.

Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Right temporal frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an anatomic variant of FTD associated with relatively distinct behavioral and cognitive symptoms. We aimed to determine whether right temporal FTD is a homogeneous clinical, imaging, and ... Read more...

Use of 5-aminolevulinic acid for visualization and resection of a benign pediatric brain tumor.

30 Oct 2009 5-Aminolevulinic acid has been used successfully to facilitate resection of adult malignant gliomas. The authors report their experience in the treatment of a 9-year-old girl who underwent fluorescence-guided resection of a right temporal lobe ... Read more...

Collision tumor of anaplastic oligodendroglioma and gangliocytoma: a case report.

25 Oct 2009 A 53-year-old woman presented with a rare case of coexistence of anaplastic oligodendroglioma with gangliocytoma manifesting as progressive disturbance of consciousness and left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium demonstrated ... Read more...
