Movement disorders are not commonly associated with stroke. Accordingly, thalamic strokes have rarely been associated with tremor, pseudo-athetosis and dystonic postures. We present a 75-year-old man who developed a disabling tremor 1 year after a posterolateral thalamic stroke. This tremor had low
The effects of motor cortex (MC) stimulation on post-stroke movement disorders were analyzed in 50 patients. These individuals either underwent MC stimulation primarily for the purpose of controlling their post-stroke involuntary movements (n = 8) or underwent MC stimulation for the purpose of
Our experience of deep brain stimulation (DBS) and motor cortex stimulation (MCS) in patients with post-stroke movement disorders and post-stroke pain is reviewed. DBS of the thalamic nuclei ventralis oralis posterior et intermedius proved to be useful in more than 70% of patients with post-stroke
Poststroke movement disorders may manifest as parkinsonism, dystonia, chorea, ballism, athetosis, tremor, myoclonus, stereotypies, and akathisia. In this article, we describe a patient with clonic perseveration 2 days after an acute ischemic stroke. We discuss the phenomenology and provide insights
We prospectively studied motor symptoms in 32 patients with CT- or MRI-proven acute pure parietal stroke. A transient, mild, 'pseudoparesis' of the hand (90%), was noted, improved by visual attention and prompting, associated with non-awareness of muscle power (53%), transient soft pyramidal signs
Although occurrence of involuntary movements after thalamic stroke has occasionally been reported, studies using a sufficiently large number of patients and a control population are not available. Between 1995 and 1999, the author prospectively identified 35 patients with post-thalamic stroke
The great formative event in the history of North America, the Civil War of 1861 to 1865, was the stimulus for the development of clinical neurology and the neurosciences. The first neurological research center on the continent was the US Army hospital at Turner's Lane, Philadelphia, PA. Silas Weir
Great advances have been made in the causes, lesions and symptoms of cerebral palsy over the years. Children with athetosis have lesions of the ventral lateral nuclei of the thalamus and putamen. Cocontraction and overflow are considered essential problems in athetosis. Some patients with a lesion
PxD are sudden, episodic, involuntary movement disorders that may include any combination of dystonia, chorea, athetosis, or ballism. The majority of reported cases are familial or idiopathic; however, there have been several reports of secondary PxD. We report 20 new cases of secondary,
Methodology and strategy play a very important role in epidemiological studies. Determination of the study area, geographical features, facilities, difficulties, and key personnel from the same area are important factors for successful methodology. Over 31 months (July 1, 2009 to January 31, 2012),
A door-to-door survey, including every household, was conducted for all inhabitants of Al Quseir City (33,283), Red Sea Governorate, Egypt by three specialists of neurology as well as nine senior staff members of neurology and 15 female social workers to assess the epidemiology of major neurological
Classically, acquired occlusion of the recurrent artery of Heubner (RAH) results in hemiparesis with faciobrachial predominance. Infarction in the territory of the RAH represents a specific stroke syndrome not yet described in infancy with a range of motor and functional manifestations. An infant is
Between 1986 and 1988 a door-to-door survey was conducted on a stable rural population of 60,820 in central Ethiopia. Trained lay health workers made a complete census and identified cases with symptoms and signs of neurological disorders, using specially designed questionnaires which, in a previous
Movement disorders can occur as primary (idiopathic) or genetic disease, as a manifestation of an underlying neurodegenerative disorder, or secondary to a wide range of neurological or systemic diseases. Cerebrovascular diseases represent up to 22% of secondary movement disorders, and involuntary
