Takashi Kageyama, Toshihiko Suenaga Department of Neurology, Tenri Hospital, Tenri, Nara, Japan Correspondence to Dr Kazuto Tsukita, kazusan{at}kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp Statistics from Altmetric.com Description An 85-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus presented[casereports.bmj.com]
One month later she presented with mild dysarthria and mild left hemiparesis. Brain MRI disclosed an extensive pyramidal tract lesion from the right corona radiata to the pedunculus cerebri.[jstage.jst.go.jp]
Design/Methods: Review of clinical presentations and brain MRIs.[neurology.org]
Our patient presented with secondary seizures, as previously reported by Hinchey et al. [ 1 ], that resulted in signal changes along the pyramidal tracts.[em-consulte.com]
Physiologically, it is normally present in infants from birth to 12 months. The presence of the Babinski sign after 12 months is the sign of a non-specific upper motor neuron lesion.[ipfs.io]

There was no evidence of renalarterystenosis or adrenal tumor. Blood pressure was controlled with medication for a period of 6 months, and the patient was also given anticonvulsive therapy.[em-consulte.com]
Deep anaesthesia Pathological causes of Babinski sign in absence of Pyramidal Tract Lesion Narcotic overdose Alcohol intoxication Following electroconvulsive therapy Coma secondary to metabolic disturbances Post-traumatic states Post-ictal state In Cheyne-Stokes[notes.medicosnotes.com]
The clinical symptoms associated with RPLS include headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, seizures and progressive loss of sight leading to associated cortical blindness [ 1 ].[em-consulte.com]
Symptoms include an increase in the muscle tone in the lower extremities, hyperreflexia, positive Babinski and a decrease in fine motor coordination.[sideeffects.embl.de]
Interruption of corticospinal fibers rostral to the motor (pyramidal) decussation causes impairment of movement in the opposite body-half, which is especially severe in the arm and leg and is characterized by muscular weakness, spasticity and hyperreflexia[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
There is hypertonia (increased muscle tone, stiffness), hyperreflexia (exaggerated reflexes), and an oscillatory movement known as clonus.[courses.washington.edu]
On exam there is a combined deficit of vibration and proprioception with pyramidal signs (plantar extension and hyperreflexia).[forums.studentdoctor.net]
On the way to hospital, he also suffered four episodes of general tonic–clonicseizures. He was intubated upon arrival. His neurological examination showed bilateral pyramidal signs.[em-consulte.com]
A 38-year-old man was admitted to hospital for loss of consciousness and generalizedseizures. His systolic blood pressure was 220 mmHg. Neurological examination revealed bilateral pyramidal-tract signs, and paresis of the right arm.[em-consulte.com]

Conclusions: Corticospinal tract lesions have a heterogenous etiology, with widely different treatments and prognoses. An understanding of these potential etiologies will assist neurologists confronted with this imaging finding.[neurology.org]

Patients who have sustained damage to their corticospinal tract have a prognosis that varies, depending on the nature of the damage. Some patients may be able to regain motor control over the course of the healing process.[wisegeek.org]

[…] hypoglycaemic hemiplegia lesions might be present along the pyramidal tract, since the more compact neuronal tissue might be more vulnerable to hypoglycaemia. 3 The coronal section in this case shows that the lesion is actually along the pyramidal tract and, to prevent[casereports.bmj.com]
