Cognition in Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by excessive muscle activity and undesirable motor events during REM sleep. RBD occurs in approximately 0.5% of the general population, with a higher prevalence in older men. RBD is a frequent feature of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), but is only rarely reported in Alzheimer's disease. RBD is also a risk fact...
متن کاملVitreitis and movement disorder associated with neurosyphilis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection: case report.
In this report, we describe an unusual patient with a choreiform movement disorder, misdiagnosed as Huntington disease, who later developed dense vitreitis leading to the identification of Treponema pallidum as the underlying pathogen of both abnormalities.
متن کاملSonographic Consensual Pupillary Reflex
Patients suffering from severe orbital trauma are at risk for numerous complications, including orbital compartment syndromes. This can result in an afferent pupillary defect, which must be evaluated for on physical examination. Unfortunately, these at-risk patients are often challenging to examine properly due to surrounding edema. Point-of-care ultrasonography can be used as an adjunct to the...
متن کاملNeurosyphilis presenting as a new onset lateralized movement disorder.
We report a unique and illustrative case of a 52-year-old man with neurosyphilis presenting as subacute hemichorea, and discuss a vascular, metabolic or inflammatory origin. A broad range of neurological findings may be linked to neurosyphilis, potentially complicating its diagnosis. We propose that new onset lateralized movement disorders may constitute the initial clinical presentations of ne...
متن کاملThe pupillary light reflex in normal subjects.
In 19 normal subjects the pupillary reflex to light was studied over a range of stimulus intensities by infrared electronic pupillography and analysed by a computer technique. Increasing stimulus intensity was associated with an increase in direct light reflex amplitude and maximum rate of constriction and redilatation. Latency from stimulus to onset of response-decreased with increasing stimul...
