Movement Disorders Phenomenology
This book presents a comprehensive, practical approach to the evaluation of movement disorders using phenomenological basic principles, new discoveries in phenomenological research, and core values of outpatient neurology. Movement Disorders Phenomenology begins with an overview of phenomenology and common approaches to movement disorder patients. Subsequent chapters then accurately and concisely relay information on major hypokinetic disorders such as atypical Parkinsonism, idiopathic Parkinson’s disease, cortical myoclonus, and complex motor tics. Expertly written text is further supplemented by patient vignettes at the beginning of select chapter that focus the reader's attention and...
Stiff-Person Syndrome and Related Disorders
This comprehensive title covers all of the broad aspects of stiff-person spectrum disorders (SPSD), ranging from clinical features and laboratory investigations to the basic scientific roles of neuroimmunology and genetics that aid clinicians in understanding the pathogenesis of this disorder. Organized across 15 chapters, this highly practical book begins with a thorough account of the history and clinical phenomenology of SPSD. Subsequent chapters then delve into the differential diagnoses of the disorder, as well as its electrophysiology, immunopathogenesis, and neurochemistry. Following this is an analysis of each subtype of SPSD including classic stiff-person syndrome and its variants, correlations between clinical phenotypes and antibodies, as well as SPSD in the pediatric population. Finally, the book concludes with an examination of the various SPSD diagnostic approaches, treatments, and potential emergencies seen in clinical practice. Developed by a renowned multidisciplinary authorship, Stiff-Person Syndrome and Related Disorders is an indispensable contribution to the clinical literature and will be of great interest to both clinicians and basic science researchers.
Uncommon Causes of Movement Disorders
A large number of neurological conditions result in abnormal movements of the body; these are often characterized by changes in coordination and altered speed of voluntary movement. Many obscure diseases, conditions and environmental insults can cause movement disorders but these are often overlooked. This volume expands and differentiates the many varied clinical presentations of movement disorders. Written by an international team of authors, including some of the most prominent clinicians in the field, disorders are defined and expanded in a clinically useful manner. Pathophysiological theories, genetic discoveries, new classifications, differential diagnoses and therapies are discussed extensively. Uncommon Causes of Movement Disorders provides a broad and comprehensive review of the field, concentrating on conditions infrequently seen but essential for practitioners to recognize in order to implement appropriate management. This is a key text for movement disorders specialists and general neurologists at all stages of their career.
Movement Disorders Phenomenology
This practical, case-based book offers an approach to diagnosis and treatment of movement disorders in the outpatient setting. The major hypokinetic and hyperkinetic disorders are considered in turn, with more than 1,000 videos illustrating the role of phenomenology in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. Discussion of the role of ancillary testing (imaging, genetic testing) and treatment options with medications, botulinum toxin injections, and surgical intervention are woven in to the discussion of cases throughout the book. Special attention is directed to pitfalls and perils of office-based practice. This volume will be of interest to movement disorders neurologists and trainees, general neurologists, neurology residents, and any healthcare professional with an interest in exploring the application of the many treatments that have transformed movement disorders into a therapeutic field. Rather than a textbook of movement disorders, thisvolume will help the practicing clinician in guiding the thought process for evaluation and management of patients in the clinic.
