Neurocognitive Plasticity in Frontotemporal Aplasia: A Case Report

In the presented case, we noticed the left-sided fronto-temporal arachnoid cyst with aplasia of the left temporal lobe and aplasia of the right temporal pole as an incidental finding in a 34-year-old right-handed high-school graduate with technical diploma complaining of vertigo after right-sided po...

Summary:In the presented case, we noticed the left-sided fronto-temporal arachnoid cyst with aplasia of the left temporal lobe and aplasia of the right temporal pole as an incidental finding in a 34-year-old right-handed high-school graduate with technical diploma complaining of vertigo after right-sided posterior inferior cerebellar artery PICA infarction in the context of a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The extensive frontotemporal aplasia did not harm the intellectual and mnestic sanity during neuronal development. Thus, we assume that a compensation of material-specific abilities was ensured within remaining structures.
