AAEE case report #19: ischemic monomelic neuropathy.

abstract：:The aim of this study was to investigate possible influences of suprasegmental lesions on the masseter reflex. The masseter reflex was elicited in 54 patients with supratentorial (37 patients) or cerebellar (17 patients) lesions 3-11 days after the acute onset of clinical disease. Patients showing lesions within the p...
