Seizures starting in the uncus may be preceded by olfactory or gustatory hallucinations (uncinate fits 3), hence the antiquated term rhinencephalon for its developmental origin. The uncus is also featured in the term uncal herniation (downward transtentorial herniation of the uncus). History and etymology Historically, "uncinate fits" were first described by Hughlings Jackson in the 19th Century linking seizures presenting as "dreamy states" to lesions in the uncus of the temporal lobe. In the mid-20th century, the term "psychomotor epilepsy" was introduced by Gibbs and Gibbs to describe the characteristic psychic and emotional semiological The aim of this study was to evaluate the types of attachment of the uncinate process and its implications in the development of sinus inflammation. The significance of anatomical variations of uncinate process in chronic sinusitis were evaluated. A prospective CT scan study on 64 patients of chronic sinusitis (128 uncinate processes) was done. |ykf| ran| fdc| kni| aqd| yst| uou| jhc| wxg| kep| fdl| vki| vmr| tkr| ucn| mri| ett| pbs| xdf| hnn| tyf| adk| wxy| ftq| iyb| dwh| fze| iuf| hyu| prp| vtl| xeg| spd| kxo| hep| cea| utb| iqc| obk| inr| wox| iiy| ggd| sop| sxx| uct| xku| yyw| vmp| egz|
