MRI in a case of rigid Huntington's disease.

چکیده
order.4 The finding expands the realm of transcranial magnetic stimulation in the investigation of cortical motor function in normal humans. It also means that abnormal responsesr to transcranial magnetic stimulation in cases of disordered brain function may reflect disturbance to either excitatory or inhibitory inputs to corticospinal neurons.

Abnormal MRI signal in the rigid form of Huntington's disease.
Eighteen patients with Huntington's disease (HD) were examined with MRI. Eleven had the common hyperkinetic form, seven had the rigid variant. All seven patients with rigid HD had increased signal intensity in the neostriatum in intermediate and T2-weighted images. Only one hyperkinetic HD had similar findings. In all the other cases, signal abnormalities were questionable or absent. Histologic...
متن کاملAtypical Parkinsonism Revealing a Late Onset, Rigid and Akinetic Form of Huntington's Disease
Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare hereditary neurodegenerative disorder characterized in over 90 percent of cases by chorea as the presenting motor symptom. We report a 54-year-old male who presented with Parkinsonism as the initial symptom of the disease. Genetic analysis revealed expansion of 40 CAG repeats, and brain MRI showed both severe caudate nuclei and cortical atrophy. Single-photon...

Introduction: As an inherited neurodegenerative disease, Huntington's disease is accompanied with wide neuronal degeneration in neostriatum and neocortex. Progress of the disease causes disabling clinical effects on movements, recognition and physiology of the body, and finally results in death. At this stage of knowledge we are, there is no effective therapeutic strategy for diminishing the mo...

Background and purpose: Migraine affects about 12% of the general population and is one of the causes of cerebral parenchymal. Applying cross sectional imaging of brain particularly MRI opens a new approach in diagnosis of migraine pathogenesis and could highly influence the patients’ follow up program. We investigated anatomical MR imaging abnormality in people with and without migraine in sen...
