Quantitative pilomotor axon reflex test: a novel test of pilomotor function.
BACKGROUND Cutaneous autonomic function can be quantified by the assessment of sudomotor and vasomotor responses. Although piloerector muscles are innervated by the sympathetic nervous system, there are at present no methods to quantify pilomotor function. OBJECTIVE To quantify piloerection using phenylephrine hydrochloride in humans. DESIGN Pilot study. SETTING Hospital-based study. PA...
متن کاملCutaneous Autonomic Pilomotor Testing to Unveil the Role of Neuropathy Progression in Early Parkinson’s Disease (CAPTURE PD): Protocol for a Multicenter Study
BACKGROUND In Parkinson's disease (PD), alpha-synuclein accumulation in cutaneous autonomic pilomotor and sudomotor nerve fibers has been linked to autonomic nervous system disturbances even in the early stages of the disease. This study aims to assess the association between alpha-synuclein-mediated structural autonomic nerve fiber damage and function in PD, elucidate the role of neuropathy pr...
متن کاملPilomotor seizures: An autonomic semiology of limbic encephalitis?
PURPOSE Ictal piloerection is an infrequent seizure semiology that is commonly overlooked as an ictal epileptic manifestation. Piloerection is considered to be principally caused by temporal lobe activity although frontal and hypothalamic seizure origins have been reported. The described etiology has shown a wide variety of structural causes such as mesial temporal sclerosis, tumors, posttrauma...
متن کاملPilomotor seizures associated with sequential changes in magnetic resonance imaging.
Piloerection is rarely described in seizures. This symptom has been most frequently observed in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and is rarely the principal clinical feature of seizures. No specific etiology of epilepsy associated with pilomotor seizures has been reported. We present the first case of a patient who experienced sudden and transitory epilepsy with pilomotor seizures occurring...
متن کاملPilomotor seizures and status in non-paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To describe an unusual clinical presentation of a patient with voltage-gated potassium channel Ab- positive, non-paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis. METHODS We performed video-EEG monitoring, structural MRI, (18)F-FDG-PET, (1)H-MRS, neuropsychological testing and antibody serology. RESULTS A 42-year-old male patient presented in an acute phase of non-paraneoplastic limbi...
