COVID-19 encephalitis with anti-mGluR1 antibody-positive cerebellar ataxia
Objective: To describe a unique case of anti-metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) antibody (Ab)-mediated cerebellar ataxia post-COVID-19 encephalitis. Background: Cerebellar syndrome is increasingly recognised in…A systematic review of Movement Disorders in COVID-19
Objective: We conducted a systematic review to describe the frequency, clinical profile and outcomes of patients with SARS-CoV-2 associated movement disorders. Background: SARS-CoV-2 is associated…Electrophysiological correlates of neurological deficits in toxic-metabolic encephalopathy
Objective: We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) paradigms reflecting GABAA, GABAB, cholinergic and glutamatergic transmission at the motor cortex level, to investigate pathophysiology of different…Progressive Ataxia with Palatal Tremor in a Metal Worker with Possible Osmotic Demyelination
Objective: We present the case of a 40 year old male alcoholic metal worker with 3 years of progressive ataxia of gait and palatal tremor. …Lingual myoclonus associated with brain metastasis located near the primary tongue motor cortex: case report.
Objective: To report a case of a patient with lung cancer who developed lingual myoclonus, revealing brain metastases. Background: Lingual myoclonus has been described associated…Caspr2 antibody associated spinal myoclonus
Objective: We report two patients with spinal myoclonus and Contactin-associated protein-2 (Caspr-2)-antibodies, idiopathic in one and paraneoplastic in the other. Background: Caspr-2-antibodies have classically been…A case of donepezil-induced multifocal myoclonus
Objective: To describe the case of a patient who developed severe multifocal myoclonus due to donepezil. Background: Donepezil is a cholinesterase inhibitor frequently used to…A Case of Secondary Myoclonic Hyperkinesia
Objective: Hyperkinesias are a type of movement disorders characterized by involuntary muscle movements. There are different variants of hyperkinesia, including tremor, chorea, myoclonic movements, etc.…A Case of Paraneoplastic Myoclonus Attributed to Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Objective: To describe a patient with papillary Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who developed acute and rapidly progressive myoclonus with prominent palatal involvement as a…Bereitschaftspotential in a Patient with Functional Propriospinal Myoclonus
Objective: To illustrate the presence and characteristics of functional propriospinal myoclonus with Bereitschaftspotential (BP). Background: The etiology of propriospinal myoclonus is mostly uncertain and functional…
