Nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia - case report.

Abstract:

:Nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia describes a syndrome consisting of recurrent motor episodes of dystonic-dyskinetic features arising from non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. In the article, the authors present female case of nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia. The patient has had attacks since her childhood and was eventually diagnosed at the age of 48. Therapy with carbamazepine considerably reduced the frequency and entent of seizures. The present case evidences that nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia still is a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. Especially, we emphasize the importance of polysomnography in the verification of the diagnosis.

  • [Catamnestic studies of patients with reversible ischemic stroke].

    abstract::The authors carried out follow-up examinations of 75 patients with reversible ischaemic strokes suffered by them 6-10 years earlier. The results showed that reversible ischaemic strokes accounted for about 8% of all strokes. The risk of a repeated stroke was about 10.6%. The prognosis in such cases is rather good, but...
