Progressive supranuclear palsy and In111-DTPA cisternography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three cases of progressive supranuclear palsy are reported in which In111-DTPA cisternography showed slow diffusion, ventricular reflux and failure of isotope clearance. The clinical diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy was confirmed histologically in two of these patients. The possible causes of the cisternographic changes and their relationship to the changes of CSF dynamics in progressive supranuclear palsy are discussed.

The Predictive Value of the Tap-test in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) represents 1 to 12% of dementias. It is characterized by gait disturbance, progressive mental deterioration and urinary incontinence, associated with enlargement of the ventricular system and normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure. In typical cases, gait disturbance is the first and most salient sign, followed by forgetfulness or mild dementia, psychomotor...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging lesion pattern in Guadeloupean parkinsonism is distinct from progressive supranuclear palsy.
In the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, patients with atypical parkinsonism develop a progressive supranuclear palsy-like syndrome, named Guadeloupean parkinsonism. Unlike the classical forms of progressive supranuclear palsy, they develop hallucinations and myoclonus. As lesions associated with Guadeloupean parkinsonism are poorly characterized, it is not known to what extent they differ from p...

OBJECTIVE To elucidate the character and distribution of the abnormal muscle tonus in the body axis in progressive supranuclear palsy. Although neck hypertonus has been well described in progressive supranuclear palsy, little is known about the involvement of the truncal muscles. METHODS Muscle tonus of the neck and trunk was separately investigated in 13 patients with progressive supranuclea...
متن کاملThe tau gene A0 polymorphism in progressive supranuclear palsy and related neurodegenerative diseases.
Progressive supranuclear palsy is characterised pathologically by the deposition of neurofibrillary tangles consisting of tau protein. Patients with the disease have been reported to have a more frequent occurrence of one allele of an intronic polymorphism of the tau gene. Other diseases which may involve tau deposition include frontotemporal dementia and corticobasal degeneration. This polymor...
