Stiff person case misdiagnosed as conversion disorder: A case report
Background: Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neurological disease resulting in stiffness and spasm of muscles. It initially affects the axial muscles and then spread to limb muscles. Emotional stress exacerbated the symptoms and signs of the disease. The pathophysiology of the disease is caused by the decreased level of the glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) activity due to an autoantibody ...
متن کاملStiff Person Syndrome with Good Treatment Response to Intrathecal Baclofen

Our case describes a 36 year old female who presented with painful, distressing, intermittent muscular rigidity and a possible associated seizure disorder. The key highlight of our case is the misdiagnosis of her disease in the early stage and the successful management of stiff...
متن کامل"Scared stiff": catatonia as an evolutionary-based fear response.
Catatonia, long viewed as a motor disorder, may be better understood as a fear response, akin to the animal defense strategy tonic immobility (after G. G. Gallup & J. D. Maser, 1977). This proposal, consistent with K. L. Kahlbaum's (1874/1973) original conception, is based on similarities between catatonia and tonic immobility ("death feint") as well as evidence that catatonia is associated wit...
متن کاملCoupling of transverse and longitudinal response in stiff polymers.
The time-dependent transverse response of stiff inextensible polymers is well understood on the linear level, where transverse and longitudinal displacements evolve independently. We show that for times beyond a characteristic time tf, longitudinal friction considerably weakens the response compared to the widely used linear response predictions. The corresponding feedback mechanism is explaine...
