Allgrove syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterised by achalasia, alacrima, adrenal insufficiency, autonomic dysfunction and amyotrophy. The syndrome has been described in childhood and adult presentation, as in our case, is very rare.

A 59 year old man initially presented with weakness in his right leg and occasional trips. He had a longstanding history of mild low back pain and had a magnetic resonance image performed under the orthopaedic team that showed some cervical spondylolisthesis sparing the spinal cord.

Motor neurone disease (MND) patients exhibit poor gait, balance, and postural control, all of which significantly increases their risk of falling. Falls are frequent in the MND population, and are associated with an increased burden of disease. The complex interplay of both motor and extramotor manifestations in this disease contributes to the ...

Neurons but Motor Neurons in Motor Neuron disease
Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, 2014The occurrence of motor neuron death is the milestone of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Therefore, morphological analysis along decades focussed on motor neuron loss as the sole marker to score disease severity. Recently, non autonomous cell death took a prominent role to explain the need for additional cell types to induce motor neuron ...

Essential facts Motor neurone disease describes a group of related diseases, affecting the neurones in the brain and spinal cord. Progressive, incurable and life-limiting, MND is rare, with about 1,100 people developing it each year in the UK and up to 5,000 people affected at any one time.

Reversible Motor Neuron Disease
European Neurology, 2008We investigated a 69-year-old male with a clinical syndrome resembling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis characterized by fasciculation, wasting of the limb muscles and increased deep tendon reflexes in the lower limbs. Electromyographic (EMG) studies showed abundant positive sharp waves and fibrillation potentials with decreased recruitment in the limbs ...

The genetics of motor neuron diseases
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Other Motor Neuron Disorders, 2003Motor neuron diseases may be divided into three categories: those with lower motor neuron involvement--spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and spinobulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA or Kennedy's disease); those with upper motor neuron involvement--primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) and the spastic paraplegias; and those with combined upper and lower motor neuron ...

Astrocytes in Motor Neuron Diseases
2019Motor neuron disorders are highly debilitating and mostly fatal conditions for which only limited therapeutic options are available. To overcome this limitation and develop more effective therapeutic strategies, it is critical to discover the pathogenic mechanisms that trigger and sustain motor neuron degeneration with the greatest accuracy and detail.

Electrodiagnosis of Motor Neuron Disease
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2013Electrodiagnostic testing has proved useful in helping to establish the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by eliminating possible disease mimics and by demonstrating abnormalities in body areas that are clinically unaffected. Electrodiagnosis begins with an understanding of the clinical features of the disease, because clinical correlation is ...

Microbiome and motor neuron diseases
2020The microbiome is the ecological community of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microorganisms that share our body space (Medical and Health Genomics, 2016, page 15-28). The human gut is the location where the maximum number of microorganisms can be found.
