Painful arm spasms after remote electrical injury: focal epilepsy begets causalgia-dystonia?
Objective: We describe a case of episodic, painful arm spasms with involuntary tremulous movements, after remote electrocution injury. Background: A variety of movement disorders have…Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease and Sensory disorders: A complication of dopatherpy or an intrinsic feature of the disease?
Objective: Evaluate the occurrence of sensory disorders (SD) in Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (IPD) and the impact of treatment in developing peripheral neuropathy (PN). Background: SD…A corneal nerve density possible progression biomarker in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients: pilot study
Objective: To evaluate corneal sub-basal nerve plexus density in PD compared to age-matched healthy subjects using confocal microscopy Background: Cornea is the most densely innervated…Parkinson’s disease and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy with celiac disease: Improvement in neuropathy but not Parkinson’s symptoms after intravenous immunoglobulin and gluten free diet
Objective: To report a case of celiac disease in Parkinson's disease and CIPD, and examine the relationship. Background: Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a…Types of Pain in Parkinson`s Disease Patients
Objective: To present the characteristics of four different types of pain in Parkinson`s disease (PD) patients. Background: Neurodegeneration can cause a nociceptive disturbances at many…Mutations of COX20 affect the assembly and function of complex IV causing early onset ataxia, dystonia and neuropathy
Objective: To find the causes of an early onset complex movement disorder in two sisters from a non-consanguineous family, and confirm the COX20 variants responsible for such mitochondrial…Painful Legs and Moving Toes (PLMT): A Case Series
Objective: Describe and characterize our PLMT patients in terms of clinical presentation, neurophysiology, imaging, associated conditions and response to treatment. Background: First described by Spillane…Association of TTPA mutation and peripheral nerve involvement in Gait disturbances in Ataxia With Vitamin E Deficiency (AVED)
Objective: To determine if peripheral nerve involvement and the type of TTPA mutation are determinant for gait ataxia in patients with AVED in vitamin E…Peripheral neuropathy in de novo patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the risk of PNP, including CTS, with PD patients and to evaluate the role of some…Polyneuropathy in patients with continuous levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) infusion
Objective: To assess frequency of polyneuropathy in patients with LCIG and the usefulness of routine nerve conduction studies follow-up Background: Continuous levodopa infusion is an…
