“…Furthermore, although the ventral spinocerebellar tract (VSCT) also convey unconsciousness proprioceptive information from the leg and the lower trunk, the VSCT conveys the proprioception of the contralateral lower limb and the VSCT neurons are being more related to attempted movements rather than to pure sensory signals [17]. Considering the lesion on the brain MRI of my patient showed the selective involvement of the centralis of Larsell's lobules II, that the ascending DSCT conveying posture, gait, and muscle tone of the lower limb and the trunk terminate in the rostral vermis [16], and that previous reports of an isolated lateropulsion due to a lesion of the DSCT exist [10,11], I speculated that a lesion of the ascending DSCT at the rostral vermis in my patient is responsible for the observed lateropulsion. A recent functional MRI study, which showed that the leg movement activated area is found within the central lobule of Larsell's lobules II-III, also supports our hypothesis [18].…”
