Deep brain stimulation for tremor in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy: a series of three cases
Objective: To describe the effect of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) on tremor associated with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) in three patients. Background: Tremor is…Monitoring electrophysiological recordings in patients with LCIJ therapy
Objective: Levodopa carbidopa intestinal jel (LCIJ) treatment for advanced Parkinson’s disease patients is live-saving for the appropriate patients, however follow up of the patients has…Whole Exome Sequencing Identifies a Homozygous POLG2 Missense Variant in an adult patient presenting with movement disorders and Mitochondrial DNA Depletion
Objective: To determine cause of disease in an adult patient with an undiagnosed chronic neurodegenerative disease. Background: POLG2 is a nuclear gene responsible for mtDNA…Neurofascin is a novel gene associated with autosomal recessive spastic and polyneuropathy
Objective: We aim to find the genetic defect causing infantile-onset ataxia and mild demyelinating neuropathy in two siblings of an Italian consanguineous family. Background: Neurofascin…Characterization of cerebrospinal fluid profile in hereditary spastic paraparesis 10
Objective: Perform a comprehensive clinical characterization and biochemical cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile analyses in two Swedish families with hereditary spastic paraparesis 10 (SPG10) caused by…Neuropathy in patients treated with LCIG in the Czech and the Slovak Republic
Objective: To identify occurrence, severity and clinical factors associated with neuropathy in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with LCIG (levodopa – carbidopa intestinal gel)…Association of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Parkinson’s disease and FIG4 mutations
Objective: Here we report a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) 4J disease (related to FIG4 mutations) who developed an early-onset Parkinson’s disease during evolution. Background: FIG4 encodes…Three cases of early tremor in the course of Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Objective: To report three cases of patients developing tremor in the course of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Background: GBS is a monophasic neuropathy causing weakness and/or…Myokymia and Tremor-like Involuntary Movement in A Patient with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy
Objective: To illustrate the myokymia and tremor-like phenomenon in a patient with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. Background: The clinical manifestations of CIDP are various and…Neurological complications secondary to metronidazole: Case Report
Objective: Present and discuss a case report showing neurotoxicity peripheral and central nervous system–associated with metronidazole use. Background: Due to the extensive clinical use of…
