Myasthenia gravis: an unrecognized cause of head drop in Parkinson's disease.

Abstract:

:Head drop is characterized by marked anterior flexion of the cervical spine, caused by weakness of the neck extensors or by increased tone of the flexor muscles. We report a woman with Parkinson's disease and head drop not due to cervical dystonia (a common cause of antecollis in parkinsonisms). Clinical, radiological, and neurophysiological features together with responsiveness to anticholinesterases and plasma exchanges indicated the possibility of a concomitant myasthenia gravis.

  • Moving from physician-centered care towards patient-centered care for Parkinson's disease patients.

    abstract::Today's society is changing rapidly and individuals increasingly favor an active role in designing their own lives. Contemporary patients are no exception, but the present health care system-which is organized primarily from the provider's perspective-is not yet prepared for this development. Here, we argue that an al...
