Non-familial periodic ataxia responding to acetazolamide.

Abstract:

:A 44-year-old man presented with symptoms of periodic ataxia, dysarthria, nausea and excessive sweating during the last twenty years. These symptoms could be provoked by physical or emotional stress and disappeared after bedrest for several hours. No other members of his family were known to have such complaints. Acetazolamide (Diamox) proved effective in preventing these symptoms. A disturbance of tryptophan metabolism is suggested as a cause of this disorder.

  • Some clinical aspects of late onset parkinsonism.

    abstract::Thirty-six parkinsonian patients were selected by age of onset of over 70 and a minimum of five years duration of illness. The mean age of onset was 73.5 years and 30 patients were still alive after a mean of 7.2 years. We found that late onset Parkinson's disease has a relatively benign course with more "axial sympto...
