Case Reports Tremor and Klinefelter’s Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Klinefelter’s syndrome (KS) has been associated with tremor, but reports on tremor phenomenology and treatment are limited. Case Reports: Patient 1 is a 17-year-old male with a dystonic tremor treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS). Patient 2 is a 57-year-old male with a predominant left hand resting tremor and dystonic features. Discussion: Our cases suggest that the tremor in patients with KS may be dystonic in nature. Patient 1 is also the third reported case of successful treatment with DBS. These cases have implications for elucidating the underlying neurobiological mechanism of tremor and identifying treatment options.

متن کاملA case report of Klinefelter’s syndrome hiding behind pulmonary embolism
Klinefelter’s syndrome, characterized by a karyotype of XXY, is characterized by a series of clinical manifestation such as hypogonadism, small testes, gynecomastia and infertility. This condition promotes hypofribrinolysis due to hormonal imbalances and thrombophillic factors resulting in a hypercoagulability state. Rare complications include thromboembolic events and deep vein thrombosis. Her...
متن کاملEarly Onset of Fragile X Associated Tremor and Ataxia Syndrome: A Case Report from Iran
Background: Different alleles of Fragile X Mental Retardation1 (FMR1) gene with separate molecular etiologies cause Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) and Fragile X-associated Tremor and Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS). Premutation alleles with 55 to 200 repeats in the FMR1 gene lead to FXTAS. It is carried by 1 in 209 women and 1 in 430 men. FXTAS commonly appears in 50- to 70-year-old adults. Case Presentatio...
متن کاملMyoclonus as a Single Side Effect of Combination of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and Clomipramine: Three Case Reports
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most popular psychiatric medications that are approved for several neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). On the other hand, clomipramine is a tricyclic anti-depressant which is the only approved medication, among this class, to treat OCD due to its substantial effects on serotonergic sys...
متن کاملA de novo Deletion of Chromosome 18p With Persistent Limb Tremor and Difficulty Speaking: A Case Report
The common causes of 18p deletion syndrome are spontaneous errors in the chromosomal structure in the early stages of human embryonic development. In this study, a 29-year-old girl was introduced with the features of deletion of chromosome 18. In addition, GTG banding karyotype revealed that this case had a deletion involving the short arm of chromosome 18. In comparison with the usual phenotyp...
