Ipsilateral symptoms caused by an arteriovenous malformation of the second or supplementary sensory area of the island of Reil.
A report of a patient with an arteriovenous anomaly stresses the correlation of clinical findings with a neuroanatomical basis for ipsilateral sensory symptoms. The significance of the second or supplementary motor and sensory patterns existing in the island of Reil, as demonstrated by the experimental work of Crosby and Augustine, is presented. At present, the evidence is that the discharges from the island of Reil are through the extrapyramidal system, a part of the ansa lenticularis system. The actual anatomical basis for such ipsilateral symptoms should be sought in more patients who are perhaps often designated as "hysterical" because they do not fit the much more commonly known pattern of contralateral symptoms.
