BACKGROUND Basal ganglia calcification (BGC) is a rare sporadic or hereditary central nervous system (CNS) abnormality, characterized by symmetric or asymmetric calcification of the basal ganglia. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 65-year-old Gypsy female who was admitted for a tetanic seizure,
Darier's disease is determined by an autosomal dominant gene and is clinically characterized by confluent hyperkarotic papules. Mental retardation may appear in up to 10-20% of patients. Convulsions, spinocerebellar tract degeneration, polyneuropathy, psychiatric disorders and cerebral atrophy occur
We present a neurodegenerative disorder starting in early childhood of two brothers consisting of severe progressive polyneuropathy, severe progressive cerebellar atrophy, microcephaly, mild epilepsy, and intellectual disability. The cause of this rare syndrome was found to be a homozygous mutation

Levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) infusion for the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) has been suspected to provoke polyneuropathy in conjunction with vitamin B6, B12 and folate deficiency and elevated homocysteine levels. We describe a PD patient under LCIG therapy developing
Introduction. At the present time, there is no reliable method or drug for effective relief of the severe pain caused by the amyloldotic polyneuropathy (AP). Objective. To explore the possibility of relieving this type of pain by intrathecal (IT) infusion of opioid (morphine or buprenorphine), with
