Prognostic and Mechanistic Factors Characterizing Seizure-Associated Crossed Cerebellar Diaschisis

“…In spite of optimal treatment and seizure resolution, she remained hemiparetic and moderately aphasic [12]. Similarly, a patient with a chronic, severe seizure history over more than 10 years presented with progressive hemiparesis and CCD on brain MRI [1]. Although surgical intervention ultimately yielded good seizure control, neither his clinical hemiparesis nor his MRI abnormalities improved.…”

Crossed cerebellar diaschisis in the setting of a convulsive status epilepticus: a rare clinical and radiological entity

“…Prognostically, patients suffering from seizure-associated CCD usually experience complete clinical recovery and radiological resolution in the following weeks after controlling their seizures [3] , as was exactly observed in our case. Rarely, persistent neurological deficits, despite well-conducted medical treatment with complete seizure control, have also been described in medical literature [5] . In another case report similar to ours, where the CCD has involved the cortico-thalamic-cerebellar pathway, improvement of restricted diffusion in the thalamus and cerebellum has been observed.…”
