Dystonia is characterized by sustained muscle contractions, leading to twisting movements and abnormal postures, which can affect any part of the body. Several causes are known and they are classified into primary (dystonia is the only or the dominant neurologic symptom), or secondary to other patologies in the central nervous system. Several genetic syndromes have been recognized in the …
Parkinson´s disease (PD) is characterized by motor and nonmotor symptoms. The motor symptoms are the cornerstone for the diagnosis and include bradykinesia, rigidity, postural instability, and resting tremor. A fifth sign often observed is freezing. The nonmotor symptoms are dementia, depression, irritability, hallucinations, apathy, and anxiety. Pathologically PD is characterized by the …
The earlier descriptions of Parkinson's disease (PD) were limited to its motor manifestations: tremor, rigidity, and flexed posture. Years later, a cytoplasmatic inclusion was discovered, the Lewy bodies (LB), the main pathological feature of the disease. The neostriatal dopamine deficiency in PD was only noted later. PD is defined by the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons o…
Dystonia is a hyperkinetic disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary contractions of agonists and antagonists, producing torsional postures or movements. The primary torsion dystonias (PTD) are characterized by dystonia, not associated with any other neurological symptoms and signs (except for tremor). In early onset PTDs, several mutations with various patterns of inheritance hav…
