This is PSP, right? Neurodegenerative and progressive, right? Wrong. This is autoimmune encephalitis associated with autoantibodies directed against the GABAB receptor. Great teaching case presented by Mustafa, Garg and colleagues Movement Disorders Clinical Practice Key Points: - Progressive recurrent backward falls for 3 months. - Slowness w/ unclear speech,...

We don't allow no progesterone antagonist to operate even 0.1% and we ban all anti-progesterone activity, and for there to be no switch of any kind in regards to progesterone from agonists to antagonist in Elise Oyinkromeineifa's body even 0.1% in the name of Jesus Christ u9ges

@MDCP_Journal This is also what my case of toxic encephalitis and drug induced Parkinsonism looked like. Onset over a few weeks and then worsened badly over months as the medication reaction was presumed to be autoimmune encephalitis, so I was wrongly kept on the drug causing it (prednisone).

Can you identify an oculogyric crisis? @ChristosGanos and colleagues teach us about the intriguing possibility that the rolling eyes we frequently see after administration of a drug, may be localized to a brain lesion network associated with a brain dopaminergic transcriptomic signature. Read about it in a new paper Brain. Key Points: - Oculogyric crises what are they? Acute episodes sustained, typically upward, conjugate deviation of the eyes. - Common cause? Acute D2-dopamine receptor blockade by a drug. - The authors used data from 14 previously reported cases of lesion-induced oculogyric crises and employed' lesion network mapping' to search for shared connections. - What was the common network? Basal ganglia, thalamic, brainstem nuclei and cerebellum. - A look at the gene expression profiles showed spatial overlap specifically with the gene coding for dopamine receptor type 2 (DRD2). - The very cool part: spatial overlap with DRD2 and DRD3 gene expression seemed to be 'specific to brain lesions associated with oculogyric crises when contrasted to lesions that led to other movement disorders.' My take: I love the use of multiple modalities to chase down a common neural network for oculogyric crises. We should keep in mind that these were cases associated with brain lesions, and as we all contribute by reporting more cases and sharing their MRI scans we will likely further refine our understanding of the network. For clinicians when you see this, look down that medication list for the 'dopamine blocker' as your first step in diagnosis. This video by Elan Louis provides a nice illustration of oculogyric crisis to help you to identify them in your practice. #Parkinsons #oculogyric

Do you remember the case of the 'frozen addict' from recreational drug use (MPTP). Is there a 'new frozen addict syndrome' caused by methcathione (ephedrone). YES. This psychostimulant leads to release of brain catecholamines. Check out this case and video by Thayler and Gurevitch which responded to amantadine and check out the link to manganese. Key points: - Methcathione (ephedrone) can be used as a recreational drug and use has been documented in Eastern Europe and other world locations. - This chemical is synthesized by oxidation of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine w/potassium permanganate. - It is usually given IV and the 'parkinsonism' is thought to be caused by manganese. - It is unlike the MPTP frozen addict as in this case levodopa does not work to treat. - The authors point out that the syndrome tends to be more symmetrical than in idiopathic PD; the clinician should look for bradykinesia, dystonia, and gait impairment. - Check out this 41 year old case w/ a normal flurodopa PET and an abnormal MRI. - He was treated with a 5-day course of IV amantadine followed by oral amantadine. My take: It is humbling to think about the history of a recreational drug which provided one of our best overall animal models of PD (the MPTP model). Now we are observing another form of recreational drug induced parkinsonism, and this one seems to be related to manganese. It is interesting in this case to observe the response to IV and oral amantadine; which as a therapy has multiple mechanisms of action including on dopamine, acetlycholine and glutamate pathways. In the USA, we have not used IV amantadine so this will be a new trick for us. One important aspect of this case was that the clinicians resisted the urge to 'dismiss the person' as an addict or as functional case. Similar to Bill Langston's experience with the MPTP frozen addict, these authors persisted, made the diagnosis and designed and implemented a treatment. BRAVO. Remember, we will all (one day) come down with a disease or diseases and Fortuna est caeca; Fortune is blind. #Parkinsons #manganese #methcathione #ephedrone

Can you pick out who has Parkinson's disease from the video using the 'whistle-smile' reflex? Maybe? Frederic Hanes described this sign in 1943. Giulia Paparella and colleagues revisit the observation in a trial of 34 Parkinson's folks versus 34 healthy controls in Movement Disorders Clinical Practice. Key Points: - When healthy individuals are prompted to whistle during a medical examination, 'they typically comply and subsequently smile.' - In Parkinson's 'they execute the whistle but often fail to produce an immediate smile.' - In their study they showed a sensitivity of 76% and a specificity of 65% for the sign. My take: It is hard to believe that there are only two papers on this sign published since 1943. Behavioral neurologists have long been fascinated by spontaneous smiling versus posed and elicited smiling in Parkinson's disease. Though the sensitivity and specificity are too low to become a biomarker, this is a sign neurologists can keep in their pockets for teaching. Researchers may also consider studying this phenomenon with functional imaging as the limbic-motor newtowrk is fascinating and we have also observed DBS induced smiling. The brain is a fascinating supercomputer and frankly, we do not know what we do not know. Ecce signum – behold the sign of the smile in Parkinson's. #Parkinsons Smiles induced by DBS: Spontaneous and posed smiles in Parkinson: Motor cortex and facial smiling in primates by Morecraft: #Parkinsons #smilefest2024 #smile
