SURGERY FOR MOVEMENT DISORDERS
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2002Since Laitinen's report of pallidotomy for the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease less than a decade ago, there has been a resurgence of interest in functional neurosurgery for movement disorders. The convergence of several paths, including the clinical problem of levodopa induced dyskinesias and motor fluctuations, increased understanding of ...

Movement disorders in pregnancy
Neurologic Clinics, 2004Movement disorders are not particularly common during pregnancy, with a few exceptions. RLS occurs most commonly followed by CG. Currently, with the incidence of rheumatic fever lower than previously, any woman who develops CG should be checked for illness other than rheumatic heart disease.

Neurophysiology of Movement Disorders
1977The relation of the cortex, cerebellum, and basal ganglia and their participation in movement disorders is presented. Studies have shown that lesions to the cortex will produce contralateral paralysis while damage to the basal ganglia or cerebellum will result in movement abnormalities.

Classification of Movement Disorders
Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2010Classification of diseases aids understanding and activity by creating an overview. No single classification can serve all purposes, and it is helpful to be aware of the range of methods available and to understand what they set out to achieve. This article focuses on factors that help the interaction between clinicians and radiologists, with the aim ...

Journal of Neurology, 2008
Movement disorder emergencies include any movement disorder which evolves over hours to days, in which failure to appropriately diagnose and manage can result in patient morbidity or mortality. It is crucial that doctors recognize these emergencies with accuracy and speed by obtaining the proper history and by being familiar with the phenomenology of ...

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 2008
This article reviews three poorly recognized yet relatively common presentations of hyperactive orofacial movement disorders: oromandibular dystonia, orofacial dyskinesia, and drug-induced extrapyramidal syndrome reactions. Orofacial movement disorders are often misdiagnosed as temporomandibular disorders, hence understanding these conditions is ...

Psychogenic Movement Disorders
Seminars in Neurology, 2006All varieties of movement disorders may be mimicked by a psychogenic disorder, most commonly tremor, dystonia, and myoclonus. Approximately 3% of patients seen in specialty clinics have a psychogenic movement disorder (PMD). The diagnosis of a PMD depends on not just ruling out an organic movement disorder, but moreover, recognizing features from the ...

Thalamotomy for Movement Disorders
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1995VL thalamotomy is an excellent choice for the control of tremor in patients with a wide variety of disorders. Parkinson's disease and essential tremor are the best indications, but other disorders also respond. Improvement of bradykinesia and rigidity in Parkinson's disease is achievable but is not as dramatic as hyperkinetic symptoms.

Movement Disorders in Childhood
Pediatrics In Review, 1996Clinical Aspects Dyskinesias are abnormal involuntary movements. The common dyskinesias include tics, chorea, tremor, dystonia, myoclonus, and hyperactivity (Table 1). Several other less common dyskinesias also are important to recognize. The diagnosis of the type of movement disorder is clinical.
