[Hypertrophic olivary degeneration : Cause of new neurological symptoms after stroke].

CONCLUSION: Analysis of the dataset provided confirmation of the results in the literature that lesions within the Guillain-Mollaret triangle more often lead to HOD. Patients with corresponding symptoms should be closely observed over time with respect to the occurrence of corresponding clinical and imaging leading symptoms. Even though the named clinical symptoms are characteristic for HOD, in many cases the diagnosis is hampered and delayed by imprecise examination and misinterpretation of the symptoms. A logopedic examination using FEES in this collective often provided indicative information. Currently, no reliable data are available on the incidence of HOD after brainstem lesions or on potential preventive and treatment options. Future epidemiological and translational studies could perspectively enable valuable insights to be gained. PMID: 30488087 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
