tremor/뇌졸중

Movement disorders are not commonly associated with stroke. Accordingly, thalamic strokes have rarely been associated with tremor, pseudo-athetosis and dystonic postures. We present a 75-year-old man who developed a disabling tremor 1 year after a posterolateral thalamic stroke. This tremor had low

Ischemic stroke associated movement disorders can be seen as the first sign of a stroke or as a delayed onset development. Tremor after a stroke is a rare finding among movement disorders. In addition to reports of tremor caused by cerebral infarction of varied locations, data on the disappearance

BACKGROUND Hemibody tremor is an uncommon manifestation of stroke. We describe a case investigated by both brain magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography using [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose. METHODS Three months after a pure motor stroke, a 65-year-old man developed a right arm and leg

Reports of involuntary ipsilateral movements after a stroke are rare, and none have described a patient with both an instinctive grasp reaction and tremor-like movement ipsilateral to the acute stroke lesion. We here report such a patient. A 76-year-old right-handed woman with a past history of left

Following a right prerolandic stroke, a 76 year old woman with bilateral upper extremity essential tremor (ET) recovered permanently from the latter contralaterally to the affected hemisphere. The ischemic stroke likely interrupted the cortical component of the ET network. Given the magnitude of

Patients with Parkinson's disease have been frequently classified by their most prominent symptoms into tremor-predominant and akinetic/rigid variants. A few pathological studies have suggested that these different phenotypes represent topographical differences in nigral pathology. A patient is

Pallidotomy remains as a treatment option in Parkinson's disease (PD) with unilateral disabling dyskinesia and tremor, though deep brain stimulation of GPi and the other targets largely replaced ablative surgeries because of reversibility. Here, we present an illustrative rare case, a 65-year-old

Peripheral pain and ataxic tremor can appear suddenly following thalamic stroke and can significantly alter a patient's psychological, social, and physical functioning. The present paper reports the case of a 70-year-old Caucasian female who sustained an acute left posterior cerebral artery

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the zona incerta has shown promising results in the reduction of medically refractory movement disorders. However, evidence supporting its efficacy in movement disorders secondary to hemorrhagic stroke or hemichoreoathetosis is limited. We describe a 48-year-old man

We report on four patients with unilateral tremor stemming from cerebrovascular accidents. In two patients with proven lesions of the thalamus, the tremor was irregular and, in addition, there was dystonic posturing of the affected arm. Tremor and dystonic posturing had appeared after the stroke. In

Writing tremor (WT) is a task-specific tremor that occurs only or mostly while writing with the dominant hand. Secondary cases are extremely uncommon. We report on a patient who, after developing a WT after an ischemic stroke, had a remarkable response to topiramate (TPM). METHODS A 65-year-old

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the sensory thalamus and the periventricular/ peri-aqueductal grey area complex may be applied for the treatment of intractable neuropathic pain syndrome. The presented study concerns a patient who experienced ischemic stroke within the posterolateral part of the left

Extrapyraramidal parkinsonian-like syndromes have been observed as manifestations of different central nervous system lesions. A 45-year-old-man gradually developed tremor and slowing of movements 2 years after a stroke. Neurological examination revealed slight hemiparesis, muscle rigidity and

Lithium is a mood stabiliser used in the treatment of acute mania, bipolar disorder and as augmentation for unipolar major depression. Tremor is a common adverse effect associated with lithium at both therapeutic and toxic serum levels. We present a case of dose-dependent changes in the quality and

Thirteen patients with tremor after stroke were treated by stereotactic thalamotomy. Prior to making therapeutic lesions, microrecordings were tried and the findings were compared with our own results obtained in Parkinson's disease. Several characteristic features were revealed in terms of changes
