Published: February 1996

Selective paralysis of downward gaze is known to be rare. There are 6 cases reported in the literature based on neuropathologic and anatomical studies. We report a 60-year-old diabetic and hypertensive patient with isolated down gaze palsy. Computed tomography failed to show the lesion in the periaqueductal region, and the diagnosis was made by Magnetic resonance imaging. The case presented is the only one still surviving.

Background: While automated methods for differential diagnosis of parkinsonian syndromes based on MRI imaging have been introduced, their implementation in clinical practice still underlies considerable challenges.

Objective: To assess whether the performance of classifiers based on imaging derived biomarkers is improved with the addition of basic clinical information and to provide a practical solution to address the insecurity of classification results due to the uncertain clinical diagnosis they are based on.

Methods: Retro- and prospectively collected data from multimodal MRI and standardized clinical datasets of 229 patients with PD (n = 167), PSP (n = 44), or MSA (n = 18) underwent multinomial classification in a benchmark study comparing the performance of nine machine learning methods.

Objectives: Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) is a rare, autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the or genes, leading to lysosomal lipid accumulation. NPC has an incidence of 1 in 100,000 live births and presents with a wide range of symptoms affecting visceral organs and the central nervous system. We aim to describe the diverse clinical presentations of NPC through case studies.
