Parkinsonian Links What Parkinson's is Not Parkinsonian Look-alikes What with so many people who show Parkinsonian symptoms not being correctly diagnosed as having Parkinson's, it is also worthwhile noting that a number of people initially diagnosed with Parkinson's have another disease, a "Parkinson's look-alike," instead. Most often these people are still considered to have Parkinsonism by the community, but their treatment protocol may be substantially different from that of persons who have ideopathic Parkinson's. Here are some of the conditions with which Parkinson's may be initially confused: Benign Essential Tremor Shy Drager Syndrome Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Striato-Nigral Degenereation ... Brain Tumors Benign Essential Tremor - A common condition that may appear in the elderly and slowly progress over the years. The tremor is usually equal in both hands and increases when the hands are stretched out in front of the patient or when the hands are moving. The tremor may involve the head but spares the legs. Patients with Benign Tremor have no other Parkinson's features, and there is usually a family history of tremor. Parkinsonian Tremor and Benign Tremor generally respond to different drugs. A small numbr of patients with Benign Essential Tremor (less than five percent) develop PD. Shy Drager Syndrome - A condition in which the earliest and most severe symptoms are those of insufficiency of the Autonomic Nervous System: dizziness on standing, bladder difficulty, and impotence. These autonomic symptoms are followed by PD symptoms such as rigidity, tremor, bradykinesia, postural instability, and gait difficulty. There is some question among neurologists as to whether the Shy Drager Syndrome is a form of PD or a separate disease.

FUNCTIONAL NEUROSURGERY NON-PARKINSONIAN MOVEMENT DISORDERS History: There is a long history in Functional Neurosurgery for treatment of movement disorders, begining with rizotomy, neurectomy and, later, mielotomy for spasticity The initial aim of the development of estereotactic neurosurgery was to provide a more sophisticated psychosurgery than the pre-frontal lobotomy. The first stereotactic procedure in humans was carried out by Spiegel and Wycis in 1947(27), in a patient with Huntington’s Chorea. Nevertheless, it was only after Meyers’ studies that many surgeons begun to use stereotaxy to the treatment of movement disorders. Although his results had been poor, he has been successful in proving that the interruption of extrapyramidal fibers resulted in the relief of the symptoms of those diseases(22). With introduction of neurostimulators in the 70’s, we have been able to notice these effects when implanted to the spinal cord or brain. Since then, they have been used for treatment of chronic pain and movement disorders (13,14,16,17). In the last years, however, with innovative breakthroughs in technological fields, new hardwares and softwares promoted a huge transformation in those procedures. Nowadays they are carried out with a high degree of precision and perfect harmony between the images of CT scan, MRI and Angiography, with the diverse Atlases available(13,15,17).

Home About Us Raising Awareness Become a member ... Contact Us More pages in this section : Cervical Dystonia FAQ 's Hemifacial Spasm Oromandibular Dystonia ... Blepharospasm What is dystonia? Dystonia is the term used to describe a condition dominated by involuntary sustained muscle spasms. These spasms can affect various parts of the body and cause abnormal movements and postures, and can be extremely painful. The condition is thought to be caused by a malfunction of the central nervous system, probably in those parts of the brain called the basal ganglia. There is some evidence that there may be a malfunction in the way ‘sensory’ signals are interpreted in the brain, and how ‘motor’ signals are instigated. In primary (or ‘idiopathic’ torsion) dystonia no other functions of the brain are involved and generally, investigations reveal no identifiable cause. In a minority of cases, specialised tests can identify known causes that damage the basal ganglia, and the dystonia in these cases is called ‘secondary’ or ‘symptomatic’. Dystonia is usually classified according to the parts of the body affected. If only one part of the body is affected, such as the eyes, neck or a limb, it is called focal dystonia. If a larger region such as the neck and arms is involved, it is called segmental dystonia. If the spasms affect the arm and leg on the same side, it is known as hemidystonia.

98. NeuroCAST - Sessions Primary dystonia (previously called idiopathic dystonia or dystonia musculorumdeformans) is often hereditary, although sporadic forms may occur. http://www.neurocast.com/site/content/sessions_Dystonia.asp

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by sustained muscle contractions that often induce uncontrollable twisting or repetitive movements, and abnormal postures and positions. The disorder may affect the entire body or only a selected part of it, such as the eyes, neck, arms, or legs. Dystonia may also be associated with pain. It tends to consistently affect the same groups of muscles, thus producing rather predictable movements over time. Initially, dystonia tends to be precipitated by specific movements or tasks, though later it can be activated by sustained movements, and in advanced stages can be present at rest. Symptoms may arise as a result of dysfunction of the basal ganglia or thalamus, parts of the brain responsible for the modulation of movement. Because of the complexity of the condition, it may be misdiagnosed as other disorders, such as stress, stiff or "wry" neck, or a psychogenic disorder. In fact, dystonia is one of the most common movement disorders. According to the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation: Dystonia is estimated to be six times more prevalent than Huntington's Disease, ALS, or Muscular Dystrophy . . . yet as few as five percent of the over 300,000 persons in North America estimated to be affected have been correctly diagnosed.

Associated persons: Hermann Oppenheim Marcus Walter Schwalbe Henry Hubert Turner Georg Theodor Ziehen Description: A familial torsion spasm due to a lesion of the basal ganglia. It begins in one leg and gradually progresses to severe disability. It is characterized by an overextension or over flexion of the hand; inversion of the foot, producing a classical dromedary gait; latero- or retroflexion of the head, torsion of the spine with arching and twisting of the back, forceful closure of the eyes, and a fixed grimace. Usually unilateral. Onset between 5 and 15 years of age. Mostly in Semitic peoples. Both autosomal dominant, recessive, and X-linked forms have been described. Familial cases frequently in Jewish kindreds of eastern European origin. The Polish neurologists Edward Flatau (1869-1932) and Wladyslaw Sterling (1877-1943) described the same condition, also in 1911.

"STORM READING" a play by Neil Marcus Neil Marcus, the author and lead actor of the play, has a condition called dystonia. In this excerpt, the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation wants to place an advertisement in the playbill which defines Neil's illness from their point of view. Neil has a different point of view. Pictured from top to bottom: Kathyrn Voice, Neil Marcus, Matthew Ingersoll. Matt: Neil, the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation is interested in your show. Kathryn: They think you are a great role model. Matt: They see STORM READING as a great vehicle to tell the world about your condition. Kathryn: They want to put an ad in your playbill. It reads, (Ad appears on the screen and Matt reads it) The Dystonia Medical Research Foundation: Playwright Neil Marcus suffers from dystonia, a rare neurological disorder in which powerful involuntary muscle spasms twist and jerk the body into unusual postures. The playwright is afflicted with "generalized dystonia," (dystonia musculorum deformans), the most severe and painful form of this disorder. It denies his ability to speak, stand, walk and/or control sudden and sometimes bizarre movements. (Neil interrupts Matt here) Neil: Wait a minute. If they think that they can say anything they want, think again. For years I've been under the medical microscope. I've been called: twisted, paralyzed, tortured, afflicted, horribly disabled, disfigured, unintelligible and confined to a wheelchair.
