Neuroimaging in Manganese-Induced Parkinsonism
Over the last 20 years, the impact of imaging on the clinical sciences has been immense. Tremendous progress has been made in medical imaging of the human body since the invention of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Neuroimaging of patients with metal neurotoxicity can be divided into two types: morphological neuroimaging (anatomy-based imaging) including CT and MR...
متن کاملMidbrain atrophy in vascular Parkinsonism.
BACKGROUND Midbrain atrophy is a well-known feature of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Some clinical features of vascular parkinsonism (VP) such as pseudobulbar phenomena, lower body predominance and early postural instability suggest that the brainstem could be associated with VP. The aim of this study was to determine whether midbrain atrophy was present in patients with VP. METHODS W...
متن کاملCharcot and vascular Parkinsonism.
Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893), recognized as the founder of Neurology and the first formal teacher of nervous system diseases, died on August 16, 1893, from acute pulmonary edema secondary to myocardial infarction. In his last years, there were several descriptions of his gait and posture disorders, suggesting the diagnosis of "lower-half parkinsonism" due to cerebrovascular disease.
متن کاملVascular parkinsonism--an important cause of parkinsonism in older people.
Parkinsonism due to cerebrovascular disease (vascular parkinsonism, VP) is a distinct clinicopathological entity. It accounts for 4.4-12% of all cases of parkinsonism. Since there are no specific diagnostic criteria, true incidence and prevalence rates of VP are not known. Typically, parkinsonism in slow-onset VP tends to be bilaterally symmetrical, affecting the lower limbs more than the upper...
متن کاملVascular parkinsonism: a clinical review.
Over the last 75 years there has been continuous debate about the existence of vascular parkinsonism (VP). The condition has been named and renamed several times, with terms such as arteriosclerotic parkinsonism, arteriosclerotic pseudo-parkinsonism and lower-body parkinsonism. Despite the progress in our understanding of other parkinsonian syndromes, such as progressive supranuclear palsy and ...
