The authors performed a correlative radiologic study on the microbleeds and volume of intracerebral hemorrhage in the supratentorial ICH patients. In the patients with lobar or putaminal hemorrhage, the hemorrhage vol...
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are neurodegenerative diseases that can be difficult to diagnose and distinguish from each other. Study aims and methods: Patients with PD and MS...
Objective: To assess the accuracy and clinical usefulness of [ 123I]β-CIT (2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl)tropane)-SPECT in the differential diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Subjects: 185 consecutive patients w...
Objectives: Glutamate mediated excitotoxicity of the hyperactive subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been reported to contribute to nigral degeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Deep brain stimulation of the STN (STN DB...
Background: The spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a genetically heterogeneous group of autosomal dominant ataxias: some mutations, including SCA1, SCA2, and SCA3, are multisystemic disorders characterized by a variet...
According to the current WHO criteria, technical investigations included in the clinical diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) are electroencephalogram (EEG) and CSF-analysis for 14-3-3 proteins. MRI ...
Background: The role of the striatum in language remains poorly understood. I ntraoperative electrical stimulation during surgery for tumours involving the ca udate nucleus or putamen in the dominant hemisphere might ...
Background: In vivo imaging of the dopamine transporter with [99mTc]TRODAT-1 (TRODAT) and olfactory testing have both been proposed as potential biomarkers in Parkinson disease (PD). Objective: To evaluate the relatio...
Putaminal hemorrhage presenting pure sensory stroke is rare.We describe a case of left putaminal hemorrhage presenting contral ateral hemisensory disturbance without hemiparesis. A 52-year-old man developed analgesia ...
To determine whether reduced striatal D2 receptor binding reported in patients with idiopathic torsion dystonia is associated with the genotype, the authors used PET and [11C]- raclopride to assess non- manifesting ca...
