Asymmetrical ventricular enlargement in Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease (PD) typically manifests with asymmetric motor symptom onset. Ventricular enlargement, a nonspecific measure of brain atrophy, has been associated with cognitive decline in PD, but not with motor symptom asymmetry. Asymmetrical ventricular enlargement on magnetic resonance images was explored in a monozygotic twin pair discordant for PD and in nine healthy monozygotic twin p...
متن کاملLateral ventricular enlargement in schizotypal personality disorder.
Although an increase in the ratio of ventricular space to brain (ventricle-brain ratio), VBR) on computed tomography (CT) has been among the most robust findings in chronic schizophrenia, VBR has not been investigated in a large, well-characterized clinical population of patients with schizotypal personality disorder (SPD), a clinical entity with a phenomenologic, gentle biological, and treatme...
متن کاملEarly versus late lateral ventricular enlargement following closed head injury.
Serial computed tomographic scans in 39 closed head injury patients were measured by planimetry. The ventricle-brain ratio was computed, and the lateral ventricles were considered to be enlarged or normal based on measurements from a control group. Delayed ventricular enlargement was common after head injury producing low Glasgow Coma Scale scores and prolonged coma, whereas subarachnoid/intrav...
متن کاملAutomatic, unsupervised classification of dyskinesia in patients with Parkinsons Disease
One of the characteristic symptoms of patients with Parkinson Disease (PD) is a rigidity of movement. These symptoms disappear after administration of Levodopa. However, the long-term use of levodopa causes involuntary movements (dyskinesia). A proper diagnosis requires an automatic, unsupervised method for the detection and classification of levodopa induced dyskinesia. The main problem, howev...
متن کاملParadoxical ventricular enlargement after successful shunting.
We present two cases of ventricular obstruction in which shunting of intracranial cysts resulted in the unexpected finding of ventricular enlargement. By imaging criteria this suggested shunt malfunction [corrected]; however, the clinical presentation dramatically improved. The probable mechanism for this diagnostic pitfall is discussed.
