Disorders Of Movement Topics [General] Tremor Dyskinesias Drug-Induced Movement Disorders ... Idiopathic Orthostatic Hypotension And Shy-Drager Syndrome Cerebellar And Spinocerebellar Disorders Disorders of the cerebellum and its inflow or outflow pathways produce deficits in the rate, range, and force of movement. Anatomically, the cerebellum has three subdivisions. The archicerebellum (vestibulocerebellum) comprises the flocculonodular lobe, helps maintain equilibrium and coordinate eye-head-neck movements, and is closely interconnected with the vestibular nuclei. The midline vermis (paleocerebellum) helps coordinate movement of the trunk and legs. Vermis lesions result in abnormalities of stance and gait. The lateral hemispheres, which make up the neocerebellum, control ballistic and finely coordinated limb movements, predominantly of the arms. Signs of cerebellar disease are listed in Table 179-3.

Olivopontocerebellar Atrophy Cerebellar degenerations (also called spinocerebellar degenerations) can either be sporadic or heredofamilial. http://www.medhelp.org/perl6/neuro/archive/15346.html
Extractions: : : Hello: : : Can you tell me what diagnostic test currently are used to diagnose and confirm OPCA? : : Thank you very much!! : Dear Dave: : Cerebellar degenerations (also called spinocerebellar degenerations) can either be sporadic or heredofamilial. Heredofamilial cerebellar degenerations can be either autosomal dominant (various types termed spinocerebellar ataxia = SCA 1 - 7, DRPLA, Machado-Joseph disease, etc) or autosomal recessive (Friedreich's ataxia, and some other rare types). : The syndrome of progressive ataxia (imbalance of gait, incoordination of hands, slurred speech), in association with some other characteristic abnormalities (peripheral neuropathy, optic atrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, dementia, corticospinal dysfunction, oculomotor dysfunction, etc) is seen with heredofamilial forms. Ataxia is associated with autonomic dysfunction and/or parkinsonian features in sporadic cases. Either sporadic or autosomal dominant forms of cerebellar degeneration can be associated with atrophy of the cerebellum, pons and inferior olives, either on MRI, or at autopsy. Hence, OPCA (olivopontocerebellar atrophy) is used as a descriptive term for these disorders.
Extractions: Over the past decade, the spinocerebellar degenerations have gone from a diverse group of loosely defined phenotypes to a family of diseases with many identifiable genotypes and the promise of gene-specific treatments. The evaluation of the spinocerebellar ataxias has been simplified, and the counseling of patients and families has been enhanced by the growing number of molecular diagnostic tests now available. Management strategies remain symptomatic and focused on rehabilitation, with empirical use of antioxidants based on research in other neuro-genetic diseases.

Extractions: (Shaking Palsy) An idiopathic, slowly progressive, degenerative CNS disorder characterized by slow and decreased movement, muscular rigidity, resting tremor, and postural instability. Etiology and Pathophysiology In primary Parkinson's disease, the pigmented neurons of the substantia nigra, locus caeruleus, and other brain stem dopaminergic cell groups are lost. The cause is not known. The loss of substantia nigra neurons, which project to the caudate nucleus and putamen, results in depletion of the neurotransmitter dopamine in these areas. Onset is generally after age 40, with increasing incidence in older age groups. Secondary parkinsonism results from loss of or interference with the action of dopamine in the basal ganglia due to other idiopathic degenerative diseases, drugs, or exogenous toxins. The most common cause of secondary parkinsonism is ingestion of antipsychotic drugs or reserpine, which produce parkinsonism by blocking dopamine receptors. Coadministration of an anticholinergic drug (eg, benztropine 0.2 to 2 mg po tid) or amantadine (100 mg po bid) may ameliorate the resulting symptoms. Less common causes include carbon monoxide or manganese poisoning, hydrocephalus, structural lesions (tumors, infarcts affecting the midbrain or basal ganglia), subdural hematoma, and degenerative disorders, including striatonigral degeneration and multiple systems atrophy (see
