Teive,Hélio A.G.; Klüppel,Leandro E.; Munhoz,Renato P.; Becker,Nílson; Müller,Paulo R.; Werneck,Lineu C.We have reported a case series of five patients with jaw-opening oromandibular dystonia secondary to Wilson's disease (WD), in which the patients were treated with botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A). In all cases, dystonia score was partially reduced three weeks after injections. The most common side effect was transient mild dysphagia. This preliminary study showed that jaw-opening oromandibular dystonia in WD may...

Lange,Marcos C.; Braatz,Vera L.; Tomiyoshi,Carolina; Nóvak,Felipe M.; Fernandes,Artur F.; Zamproni,Laura N.; Piovesan,Élcio J.; Nóvak,Edison M.Neurological diseases are prevalent in the emergency room (ER). The aim of this study was to compare the neurological diagnoses between younger and older patients evaluated in the ER of a tertiary care hospital. METHOD: Patients admitted to the ER who required neurological evaluation in the first 24 hours were separated into two groups based on age, <;50 years old and >50 years old. RESULTS: Cerebrovascular ...

Kamoi; Parolin,Sérgio F.; Werneck,Lineu C.Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an immune-mediated disorder of the presynaptic neuromuscular transmission, which more frequently occurs as the remote effect of a neoplasm, in the paraneoplastic form (P-LEMS), or in a non-paraneoplastic form (NP-LEMS); but few studies describe the clinical features of NP-LEMS. We analyzed the clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, electrophysiological studies,...
