Hemiparkinsonism-hemiatrophy syndrome.
OBJECTIVE To characterize the clinical and radiologic features of hemiparkinsonism-hemiatrophy syndrome (HPHA). METHODS Medical records of patients with evidence of unilateral parkinsonism and ipsilateral body atrophy, evaluated at the Baylor College of Medicine Movement Disorders Clinic, were reviewed. RESULTS The mean age at onset of the 30 patients who satisfied the criteria was 44.2 (15...
متن کاملHemiparkinsonism-hemiatrophy syndrome.
The syndrome of hemiparkinsonism-hemiatrophy is an uncommon form of secondary Parkinsonism that presents with unilateral body Parkinsonism plus variable atrophy on the same side. Diagnosis of this syndrome needs a complete past medical history taking, as well as assessment of the familial history, clinical examination and complete paraclinical tests.The response to medical therapy has been vari...
متن کاملNeuroimaging of Freezing of Gait
Functional brain imaging techniques appear ideally suited to explore the pathophysiology of freezing of gait (FOG). In the last two decades, techniques based on magnetic resonance or nuclear medicine imaging have found a number of structural changes and functional disconnections between subcortical and cortical regions of the locomotor network in patients with FOG. FOG seems to be related in pa...
متن کاملIs freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease related to asymmetric motor function?
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a disabling phenomenon common in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). The cause of FOG is unclear. The objective of this study was to explore a novel hypothesis stating that FOG is related to asymmetric motor performance. We compared PD patients that experience FOG episodes (PD+FOG) with PD patients that do not (PD-FOG) and studied the relationship of FOG t...
متن کاملThe Practicalities of Assessing Freezing of Gait
BACKGROUND Freezing of gait (FOG) is a mysterious, complex and debilitating phenomenon in Parkinson's disease. Adequate assessment is a pre-requisite for managing FOG, as well as for assigning participants in FOG research. The episodic nature of FOG, as well as its multiple clinical expressions make its assessment challenging. OBJECTIVE To highlight the available assessment tools and to provi...
