Posterior Central Gyrus Syndrome

Posterior Central Gyrus Syndrome (Syndromum Gyri Posterioris Centralis) is a neurological disorder that occurs as a result of damage to the posterior part of the central gyrus of the brain. This syndrome manifests itself in the form of various symptoms, such as sensory disturbances, motor disturbances, visual disturbances, etc.

To better understand posterior central gyrus syndrome, it is necessary to review the anatomy of the brain. The central gyrus is located in the deep layers of the brain and is part of the cerebral cortex. It is divided into front and back parts, which are responsible for the movements of the arms, legs and torso. The posterior part of the central gyrus, which is responsible for the upper limbs, is located below and closer to the occipital region of the head.

When the posterior part of the central gyrus is damaged, various symptoms associated with disruption of the functions controlled by this part of the brain occur. One of the main symptoms is sensory disturbance, which manifests itself as numbness, tingling, or a ghoul-like sensation in the extremities. Movement disorders may also occur, such as decreased muscle tone, poor coordination, and muscle weakness.

In addition, posterior central gyrus syndrome can lead to visual disturbances, such as decreased visual acuity, distorted objects, or double vision. Problems with memory, attention and concentration may also occur.

Diagnosis of posterior central gyrus syndrome is based on the result of a neurological examination of the patient, including tests of sensitivity, muscle strength and coordination of movements. Neuroimaging techniques such as MRI or CT may be used to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment for posterior central gyrus syndrome depends on the cause of its occurrence. In some cases, surgery may be required, such as for a brain tumor or hemorrhage. In other cases, medication, physical therapy, or rehabilitation measures may be prescribed.

Thus, posterior central gyrus syndrome is a serious neurological disorder that can lead to sensory disturbances, movement disorders, visual impairment and other problems. To diagnose and treat this syndrome, you must contact a qualified neurologist.

Syndrome of the posterior central gyrus (posterior parietal lobule) (angular gyrus syndrome) (in English - WP$ syndrome).

Posterior central gyrus syndrome is a symptom complex characterized by central hemiparesis, hemihypesthesia and (or) motor disorders (aphasia, agnosia, apraxia) in combination with autonomic and motor disorders
