mirror movement is an interesting but often overlooked neurological soft sign;these movements are described as simultaneous contralateral, involuntary, identical movements that accompany voluntary movements. this neurologic problem is very rarely seen in children; in familial cases there is a positive history of these movements in parents, diminishing with time. here, we have presented the case...

hereditary spastic paraplegias are highly heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders with some special mutations. we report on a patient with pescavus, distal a myotrophy, hyper extended fingers, and pectus excavatum. neurological examination showed that he had proximal lower limbs weakness with a positive gower sign, exaggerated lower limbs deep tendon reflexes with spasticity, distal muscle wa...

Neurological deficit due to Vertebroplasty cement leakage as an important complications with early sign and symptom but delay radicular pain muscle weakness presentation was rare need correct diagnostic approach.

An atypical presentation of facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSH) is described, where the presence of a positive Beevor's sign led to genetic testing and subsequent probable diagnostic confirmation. This prompted evaluation of a further 68 patients for the presence of Beevor's sign. Among these, 19/20 patients with FSH had a positive Beevor's sign, compared with 2/28 with other muscle diseases, a...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Lhermitte's sign, a classical neurological sign, is a rare manifestation of vitamin B12 deficiency. The aim here was to report on a case of an elderly patient with vitamin B12 deficiency whose first clinical manifestation was the presence of Lhermitte's sign. CASE REPORT We describe an elderly patient with vitamin B12 deficiency who presented cognitive dysfunction, perip...

This paper considers neurological, formational and functional similarities between gestures and signed verb predicates. From analysis of verb sign movement, we offer suggestions for analyzing gestural movement (motion capture, kinematic analysis, trajectory internal structure). From analysis of verb sign distinctions, we offer suggestions for analyzing co-speech gesture functions.

BACKGROUND Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare remote effect of cancer. The antibodies and tumors associated with PNS have been well described, but there are still many clinically suspected cases in which no tumor or antibody can be identified. This is the first report of PNS showing hot cross-bun sign and caused by exceptionally rare underlying malignancy, such as burned-out t...
