Differentiating lower motor neuron syndromes | Journal of …
WEBLower motor neuron (LMN) syndromes typically present with muscle wasting and weakness and may arise from pathology affecting the distal motor nerve up to the level of the anterior horn cell. A variety of hereditary causes are recognised, including spinal muscular atrophy, distal hereditary motor neuropathy and LMN variants of familial motor neuron disease. Recent genetic advances have resulted ...
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy: update on …
WEBChronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune-mediated neuropathy typically characterised by symmetrical involvement, and proximal as well as distal muscle weakness (typical CIDP). However, there are several ‘atypical’ subtypes, such as multifocal acquired demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy (Lewis-Sumner syndrome) and ‘distal acquired demyelinating ...
What causes lacunar stroke? | Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery ...
WEBA quarter of all ischaemic strokes (a fifth of all strokes) are lacunar type.1 Lacunar infarcts are small infarcts (2–20 mm in diameter) in the deep cerebral white matter, basal ganglia, or pons, presumed to result from the occlusion of a single small perforating artery supplying the subcortical areas of the brain.2 Although a recognised stroke subtype for over 50 years, the cause of lacunar ...

The basics of electromyography | Journal of Neurology, …
WEBElectromyography (EMG), the recording of electrical activity in muscle, should be regarded as an extension of the clinical examination. It can distinguish myopathic from neurogenic muscle wasting and weakness. It can detect abnormalities such as chronic denervation or fasciculations in clinically normal muscle. It can, by determining the distribution of neurogenic abnormalities, differentiate ...
Normal pressure hydrocephalus: long-term outcome after shunt …
WEBBackground/objective: Little is known about the long-term clinical course and management of patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) treated by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of 55 patients diagnosed with idiopathic NPH (INPH) and treated with CSF shunts, all of whom were followed for more than 3 years after the original shunt surgery ...
IF IT'S NOT EPILEPSY - Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery
WEBThe most important diagnostic problem in epileptology is to distinguish epileptic seizures from syncope and from psychogenic attacks. A less common problem is the need to distinguish epilepsy from other paroxysmal disorders with which it may overlap. Improved understanding of ion channel disorders has blurred the definition of epilepsy.1 The diagnosis of episodic altered consciousness rests ...
Practical approach to the diagnosis of adult-onset …
WEBAdult-onset leukodystrophies and genetic leukoencephalopathies comprise a diverse group of neurodegenerative disorders of white matter with a wide age of onset and phenotypic spectrum. Patients with white matter abnormalities detected on MRI often present a diagnostic challenge to both general and specialist neurologists. Patients typically present with a progressive syndrome including various ...
