Reversing the irreversible: The application of Deep Brain Stimulation in The Syndrome of Irreversible Lithium Effectuated Neurotoxicity.
Objective: To share an exciting case of effective treatment of Syndrome of Irreversible Lithium Effectuated Neurotoxicity (SILENT) after an inadvertent lithium overdose using Deep Brain…Assessment of Cerebellar Ataxia Severity in Patients with Posterior Cranial Fossa Tumors Using CASAS Scale
Objective: To develop a scale for assessing the severity of cerebellar ataxia in patients with PCFT Background: Cerebellar ataxia (CA) is prevalent in patients with…Expanding the Neurogenetic Spectrum: A Case of DEPDC5 Mutation Presenting with Unilateral Tremor and Cognitive Decline
Objective: Here, we report a novel presentation of DEPDC5-related disorders in a 41-year-old patient with unilateral tremors and delayed cognitive decline. Background: DEPDC5 mutations are…Human cerebellum contributes to the motor frequency coding for essential tremor and volitional rhythmic movements
Objective: Tremor and volitional rhythmic movement are frequency-specific motions. However, it remains unclear which area of the central nervous system can process frequency information. This…The phenotypic spectrum and assessment of severity in patients of Spinocerebellar Ataxia-12.
Objective: To describe clinical phenotype, manifestations, and assess tremor severity using standard rating scale in genetically confirmed patients with SCA12. Background: Spinocerebellar Ataxia-12 (SCA12) occurs…COVID-19 encephalitis with anti-mGluR1 antibody-positive cerebellar ataxia
Objective: To describe a unique case of anti-metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) antibody (Ab)-mediated cerebellar ataxia post-COVID-19 encephalitis. Background: Cerebellar syndrome is increasingly recognised in…Paraneoplastic Cerebellar Ataxia Due To Ovarian Teratoma: A Case Report
Objective: report the case of a young woman who presented with rapidly progressive ataxia caused by an ovarian teratoma Background: paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is…SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Spinocerebellar Ataxia 12: Demographics, Outcomes and Post- COVID Spectrum
Objective: We aimed to assess the symptoms and long-term symptoms in spinocerebellar ataxia 12 (SCA12) COVID-19 patients. Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)…Clinical epidemiology of movement disorders in Douala General Hospital, Cameroon: A two years retrospective study
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of movement disorders and their characteristics in the outpatient department of neurology at the…Subacute cerebellar degeneration and Holmes tremor secondary to paraneoplastic non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Objective: To describe a paraneoplastic cerebellar syndrome with Holmes tremor secondary to a novel antibody. Background: Holmes tremor is a large amplitude, 3-4 Hz tremor…
