Abstract:
PURPOSE:The goal of the present study was to clarify the clinical characteristics and laboratory results of parkinsonian symptoms among patients with and without camptocormia. METHODS:Seventy-eight Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with camptocormia and 78 PD patients without camptocormia underwent a neurological examination, a blood test, and spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). PD with camptocormia group and PD with non-camptocormia group were matched on age, age at PD onset, and sex. PRINCIPAL RESULTS:Camptocormia group had significantly higher prevalence of compression fractures, more severe parkinsonian symptoms, and a greater incidence of dementia than those without camptocormia. Serum creatine kinase levels in camptocormia group significantly elevated compared with non-camptocormia group. There were higher prevalence of abnormal findings in spine MRI including compression fractures and paravertebral muscle changes in camptocormia group compared with non-camptocormia group. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS:Camptocormia is associated with a greater prevalence of compression fractures and associated with greater UPDRS part II, part III score, axial score, and lower MMSE in this cross-sectional study. Thus, it can be concluded that camptocormia in PD is predominantly myopathic.
