Objective: To report the efficacy and safety of long-term intrathecal interferon therapy in a patient with SSPE. Background: Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE), a fatal progressive…Focal Lower Limb Myoclonus Heralding Adult Onset Fulminant SSPE
Objective: We report a case adult onset fulminant SSPE with focal lower limb myoclonus as the predominant presenting movement disorder. Background: Myoclonus remains a defining…Optimizing Bereitschaftspotential Detection Using Signal Processing Techniques
Objective: Apply signal processing methods for more robust Bereitschaftspotential detection Background: The Bereitschaftspotential (readiness potential, BP) is a small, slow rising negative scalp EEG potential…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…A systematic review of Movement Disorders in COVID-19
Objective: We conducted a systematic review to describe the frequency, clinical profile and outcomes of patients with SARS-CoV-2 associated movement disorders. Background: SARS-CoV-2 is associated…Electrophysiological correlates of neurological deficits in toxic-metabolic encephalopathy
Objective: We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) paradigms reflecting GABAA, GABAB, cholinergic and glutamatergic transmission at the motor cortex level, to investigate pathophysiology of different…Progressive Ataxia with Palatal Tremor in a Metal Worker with Possible Osmotic Demyelination
Objective: We present the case of a 40 year old male alcoholic metal worker with 3 years of progressive ataxia of gait and palatal tremor. …Lingual myoclonus associated with brain metastasis located near the primary tongue motor cortex: case report.
Objective: To report a case of a patient with lung cancer who developed lingual myoclonus, revealing brain metastases. Background: Lingual myoclonus has been described associated…Caspr2 antibody associated spinal myoclonus
Objective: We report two patients with spinal myoclonus and Contactin-associated protein-2 (Caspr-2)-antibodies, idiopathic in one and paraneoplastic in the other. Background: Caspr-2-antibodies have classically been…A Case of Secondary Myoclonic Hyperkinesia
Objective: Hyperkinesias are a type of movement disorders characterized by involuntary muscle movements. There are different variants of hyperkinesia, including tremor, chorea, myoclonic movements, etc.…
