Clinical Features Indicating Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Degeneration in Drug-Induced Parkinsonism
OBJECTIVE Patients with drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) may have nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration. We studied the clinical features that may indicate nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration in patients with DIP. METHODS Forty-one DIP patients were classified into normal and abnormal [18F] FP-CIT scan groups. Differences in 32 clinical features and drug withdrawal effects were studied. ...
متن کاملSevere nigrostriatal degeneration without clinical parkinsonism in patients with polymerase gamma mutations.
The role of mitochondria in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration is an area of intense study. It is known that defects in proteins involved in mitochondrial quality control can cause Parkinson's disease, and there is increasing evidence linking mitochondrial dysfunction, and particularly mitochondrial DNA abnormalities, to neuronal loss in the substantia nigra. Mutations in the catalytic subun...
متن کاملDrug-Induced Parkinsonism
Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is the second-most-common etiology of parkinsonism in the elderly after Parkinson's disease (PD). Many patients with DIP may be misdiagnosed with PD because the clinical features of these two conditions are indistinguishable. Moreover, neurological deficits in patients with DIP may be severe enough to affect daily activities and may persist for long periods of ti...
متن کاملDrug Induced Parkinsonism
Since 1947 a number of chemists who used MPTP for legitimate purposes developed Parkinsonism. Final recognition that MPTP induces Parkinsonism came in 1982 when a batch of an illicit narcotic (MPPP) became contaminated to form MPTP and a group of users demonstrated profoundly disabling Parkinsonism. Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition, which is characterised by both motor (movem...
متن کاملMetabolic Covariant Network in Relation to Nigrostriatal Degeneration in Carbon Monoxide Intoxication-Related Parkinsonism
Presence of parkinsonian features after carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication is well known and the severity was found to relate to the pre-synaptic dopaminergic deficits. There is no systemic study to analyse the functional network involved in CO-related Parkinsonism. Forty-five CO-related parkinsonism patients and 25 aged-matched controls completed the 3D T1-weighted imaging and (18)F-fluoro-2-de...
