Anti-basal ganglia antibodies: a possible diagnostic utility in idiopathic movement disorders?
BACKGROUND The spectrum of post-streptococcal brain disorders includes chorea, tics, and dystonia. The proposed mediators of disease are anti-basal ganglia (neuronal) antibodies (ABGA). AIM To evaluate ABGA as a potential diagnostic marker in a cohort of UK post-streptococcal movement disorders. METHODS Forty UK children presenting with movement disorders associated with streptococcal infec...
متن کاملMovement Disorders Following Cerebrovascular Lesion in the Basal Ganglia Circuit
Movement disorders are primarily associated with the basal ganglia and the thalamus; therefore, movement disorders are more frequently manifest after stroke compared with neurological injuries associated with other structures of the brain. Overall clinical features, such as types of movement disorder, the time of onset and prognosis, are similar with movement disorders after stroke in other str...
متن کاملLoss of Specificity in Basal Ganglia Related Movement Disorders
The basal ganglia (BG) are a group of interconnected nuclei which play a pivotal part in limbic, associative, and motor functions. This role is mirrored by the wide range of motor and behavioral abnormalities directly resulting from dysfunction of the BG. Studies of normal behavior have found that BG neurons tend to phasically modulate their activity in relation to different behavioral events. ...
متن کاملA dystonic syndrome associated with anti-basal ganglia antibodies.
Anti-basal ganglia antibodies (ABGA) have been associated with movement disorders (usually tics and chorea) and psychiatric disturbance in children. This report describes five adult and adolescent patients (one male, four females; mean age of onset, 16 years (range, 13-35)) who presented subacutely with a clinical syndrome dominated by dystonia and had ABGA binding to antigens of similar molecu...
متن کاملBasal ganglia oscillations and pathophysiology of movement disorders.
Low frequency rest tremor is one of the cardinal signs of Parkinson's disease and some of its animal models. Current physiological studies and models of the basal ganglia differ as to which aspects of neuronal activity are crucial to the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease. There is evidence that neural oscillations and synchronization play a central role in the generation of the disease. Ho...
