Can we use peripheral tissue biopsies to diagnose Parkinson's disease? A review of the literature.

abstract：:Cocaine abuse is a well known cause of cerebrovascular complications. An inflammatory vasculopathy hypothesis has been proposed, but the medical literature has only reported a few pathological confirmations. We report a case with a biopsy demonstrating cerebral inflammatory vascular changes that are associated with co...
