[Chronic parkinsonian syndrome after 10 years of repeated insecticide spraying].

Introduction: Acute and reversible parkinsonism is usually described after massive ingestion of organophosphate insecticides whereas acute intoxications occurring after pesticide spraying are rare.

Case Report: We report one case of atypical parkinsonian disorder following repeated spraying with an aerosol insecticide containing pyrethre and organophosphate. This patient had a daily massive dermal and respiratory exposure to these pesticides for 10 years.

[Autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy associated with conduction defects (LGMD1B): a description of 8 new families with the LMNA gene mutations].

Introduction: Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 1b (LGMD1B), due to LMNA gene mutations, is a relatively rare form of LGMD characterized by proximal muscle involvement associated with heart involvement comprising atrio-ventricular conduction blocks and dilated cardiomyopathy. Its clinical and genetic diagnosis is crucial for cardiac management and genetic counselling. Seven LMNA mutations have been previously reported to be responsible for LGMD1B.

[Cerebrovascular complication in non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis. Value of cardiac transesophageal ultrasonography].

Background: Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis in patients with cancer can lead to ischemic stroke. Endocardial vegetations are usually small and may be missed at transthoracic echocardiography.

Case Report: Disseminated intravascular coagulation developed in a woman with ischemic stroke.

[Late neurologic complications of galactosemia: study of 3 cases].

Galactosemia is an autosomal recessive, inborn error of galactose metabolism due to the deficiency of galactose-I-phosphate uridyl transferase. Late-onset neurologic complications may develop despite Galactose restriction. Three adult patients are reported.
