Confusion, dysphasia, and asterixis following metrizamide myelography.
A patient exhibited confusion, dysphasia, and striking asterixis 18 hours after metrizamide myelography. The symptoms lasted for a day and a half. While metrizamide is a useful contrast medium, side effects are not unusual and can, on occasion, be quite severe.
متن کاملPancreatic encephalopathy: an unusual cause of asterixis.
CONTEXT Pancreatic encephalopathy is the occurrence of neuropsychiatric abnormalities in setting of acute pancreatitis which is not otherwise explained by presence of electrolyte abnormities, or organic lesions. The pathogenesis of pancreatic encephalopathy is incompletely understood. The clinical presentation is variable. CASE REPORT A 60 year old male, a diabetic for 5 years, was admitted w...
متن کاملPhysiological analysis of asterixis: silent period locked averaging.
Asterixis was studied in nine patients, using a new electrophysiological technique: silent period locked averaging (SPLA). There were two types of electromyographic (EMG) silence in the movements clinically judged as asterixis. The jerky movement in one of the two types might be caused by the silent period after the subclinical cortical myoclonus. SPLA would be useful for studying asterixis as ...
متن کاملPathophysiology of unilateral asterixis due to thalamic lesion.
OBJECTIVE Unilateral asterixis has been reported in patients with thalamic lesion. This study aims at elucidating the pathophysiology of the thalamic asterixis. METHODS Two cases with unilateral asterixis caused by an infarction in the lateral thalamus were studied by analysing the asterixis-related cortical activities, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for motor cortex excitability and...
متن کاملInvestigation of the effects of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on self-paced rhythmic movements.
Human rhythmic movements spontaneously entrain to external rhythmic stimuli. Such sensory-motor entrainment can attract movements to different tempi and enhance their efficiency, with potential clinical applications for motor rehabilitation. Here we investigate whether entrainment of self-paced rhythmic movements can be induced via transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), which uses...
