Abdominal Tremor in Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease: A Case Report.

Background: Tremor in Parkinson's disease (PD) is commonly seen in the upper extremities and can involve the lower extremities and mouth. We present a case of a patient with idiopathic PD who presented with abdominal tremor.

Case Report: A 40-year-old man with a 2-year history of subjective weakness and stiffness in the right arm and leg, followed by emergence of a right hand tremor, subsequently developed abdominal tremor.

Two-year clinical outcomes associated with robotic-assisted subthalamic lead implantation in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Few centers have routinely implemented robotic stereotactic systems for deep brain stimulator (DBS) placement. The present study compares clinical outcomes associated with robotic-assisted subthalamic nucleus (STN)-targeted DBS surgery in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) to those of the traditional frame-based method. A retrospective chart review was performed (February 2013-June 2017).

Frameless Stereotactic Robot-Assisted Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation: Case Report.

Background: Electrode implantation for deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be performed in numerous ways, but the current "gold standard" is the use of frame-based systems for accuracy. Robotic stereotactic procedures, however, have gained increased interest because of their ease of use and reliability, but there could be concern about their safety in the United States as the result of recent lawsuits (e.g.

[Clinico-physiological analysis of cranial dystonia].

To study afferent and efferent mechanisms of both pathogenesis and forming of the symptoms of dystonia a clinical-electrophysiologic examination was performed in 22 aged 35-69 years patients with cranial dystonia. A wide range of different factors in anamnesis of the patients was found, that had had either short or long influence on the facial zone and that had preceded the development of cranial dystonia (2 month-5 years before its rise). This was called by the authors the peripheral factor of dystonia pathogenesis.
