Article Abstract

In clinical practice, various diseases manifest as extrapyramidal symptoms. Diagnosing these disorders is crucial, as they are often accompanied by psychiatric symptoms and other systemic manifestations that affect prognosis, in addition to motor symptoms. This article provides an overview of Huntington's disease, neuroacanthocytosis, hereditary dystonia, and ADCY5-related dyskinesia, which are relatively prevalent in the Japanese clinical setting. The discussion centers on motor symptoms, therapeutic approaches, and underlying genetic causes.

Background: The factors contributing to a poor response to subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) are not yet fully understood. Accordingly, predicting the outcome might be challenging particularly in those who display an optimal response to the Levodopa challenge test.

Objective: To determine which factors may contribute to poor outcome of STN-DBS in PD.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neurological condition that occurs as a complication of liver dysfunction that involves sensorimotor symptoms in addition to cognitive and behavioral changes, particularly in cases of severe liver disease or cirrhosis. Previous studies have reported spatially distributed structural and functional abnormalities related to HE, but the exact relationship between the structural and functional alterations with respect to disease progression remains unclear. In this study, we performed surface-based cortical thickness comparisons and functional connectivity (FC) analyses between three cross-sectional groups: healthy controls (HC, = 51), patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE, = 50), patients with overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE, = 51).

Peri-lead edema in deep brain stimulation: common complication or rare challenge?

Front Surg

August 2025

Department of Neurology, University Hospital and Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacký University, Olomouc, Czechia.

Introduction: Peri-lead edema (PLE) is a commonly observed but often asymptomatic complication of deep brain stimulation (DBS). While usually transient and benign, severe cases of PLE can result in neurological symptoms, impacting patient outcomes. This case series explores the clinical course, management, and outcomes of symptomatic PLE in a series of five patients undergoing DBS.
