Clinical Complexity in Neurodegenerative Diseases - Case Series

-
Image
INTRODUCTION The term neuro - referring the cells of brain /neurons, Degeneration- deterioration and loss of function in the cells of a tissue or organ. These disorders are an umbrella term for a spectrum of diseases that can cause symptoms ranging from mood disturbances to dementia, involuntary movements, and cognitive decline that affect daily life. The lack of clear criteria for defining neurodegenerative disorders means that there is a wide variety of etiologies and pathophysiology to understand the clinical, pathological, molecular pathways, and therapeutic targets in management. This creates a broad scope for future research and treatment advancements. This can make it challenging to diagnose and treat these diseases effectively. However, researchers are working to better understand the underlying mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders, which could lead to more effective treatments in the future. Neurodegenerative disorders can impact many different facets of functioning, ...

NOTE: THIS IS AN ONLINE E LOGBOOK TO DISCUSS OUR PATIENT'S DE-IDENTIFIED HEALTH DATA SHARED AFTER TAKING HIS/HER GUARDIAN'S SIGNED INFORMED CONSENT. HERE WE DISCUSS OUR INDIVIDUAL PATIENT'S PROBLEMS THROUGH A SERIES OF INPUTS FROM THE AVAILABLE GLOBAL ONLINE COMMUNITY OF EXPERTS INTENDING TO SOLVE THOSE CLINICAL PROBLEMS WITH COLLECTIVE CURRENT BEST EVIDENCE-BASED INPUT. A 53F woman, who works as a teacher complains of uncontrolled movements in fingers and toes since 7 years.  HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Patient was apparently asymptomatic 7 years back. She then developed slight movements in her fingers and toes that were not under her control. These movements lasted for 10-15 minutes and occurred 2-3 times in an hour. The frequency has now increased. There is no associated weakness. These tremors are of low amplitude and high frequency. They are also present during sleep. Episodic in nature. Occur and resolve spontaneously. No triggers. Aggravated on stretching arms. No re...
