Atypical Parkinsonism Presenting with Isolated Gaze Palsy

Peri-Lead Edema After Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson Disease: A M...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Peri-lead edema (PLE) is a poorly understood complication of DBS. We hereby report three cases of unilateral PLE after bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN)-DBS and discuss its diagnosis and management. Patient 1 reported a new-onset headache one month after his surgical procedure. Antibiotic treatment was administered....

Atypical Parkinsonism with Eye-of-the-Tiger Sign

Translation, Adaptation and Validation of the European Portuguese Version of th...

Non-motor symptoms are underrecognized features of Parkinson's disease that impair quality of life and increase mortality. In this study, we aim to translate, adapt and validate the European Portuguese version of the "Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire", which has proven to be a valid and reliable measurement tool of non-motor symptoms in other languages. Material and Methods: Acceptability was evaluated regardin...

Impulsivity across reactive, proactive and cognitive domains in Parkinson's dis...

Impulse control disorders (ICD) may occur in Parkinson's disease (PD) although it remains to be understood if such deficits may occur even in the absence of a formal ICD diagnosis. Moreover, studies addressing simultaneously distinct neurobehavioral domains, such as cognitive, proactive and reactive motor impulsivity, are still lacking. Here, we aimed to investigate if reactive, proactive and cognitive impulsiv...

Acute Generalized Chorea, Dystonia and Brain Calcifications: A Case Report

Pathological basal ganglia calcification, or Fahr’s Syndrome, can be secondary to a variety of diseases, namely parathyroid disturbances. Movement disorders are common clinical features, in which chorea is seen in less than 20% of cases and dystonia just in 8%. We report the clinical case of a 49-year-old male with a history of thyroidectomy, who was admitted in Emergency Service with acute generalized chorea a...

Clinical rating scale for pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration: A p...

Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration is a progressive neurological disorder occurring in both childhood and adulthood. The objective of this study was to design and pilot-test a disease-specific clinical rating scale for the assessment of patients with pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration.

Extensive Myelitis as a Manifestation of Neuroborreliosis

Neurological manifestations of Lyme disease are reported in 3% - 12% of patients, with the most common form of presentation being meningoradiculitis. Other symptoms involving the central nervous system, such as myelitis or encephalitis, are rare (< 5 %). We report a case of a 66-year-old male, with a subacute extensive transverse myelitis, secondary to Borrelia burgdorferi infection. The patient underwent an...
