Case 2 A 46-year-old male patient presented with sudden onset of slurred speech, slow gait and loss of balance. His medical history revealed insulin resistance and ESRD. [jneuro.com]

• Tremor

  […] restricted to extrapyramidal tract, patients have NO paresis or neuropsychological impairments Characteristic features of basal ganglia (i.e., extrapyramidal) injury involve the following involuntary movement disorders: Parkinsonism – combination of resting tremor [brainaacn.org]

  The tremor has been erroneously considered a tremor at rest, but actually it is a tremor of postural or resting muscle tension. [dartmouth.edu]

  During follow up the tremor and gait imbalance resolved within 7 days and recurrent episode of hypoglycemia was not observed. [jneuro.com]

• Chorea

  Symptoms The disease is diagnosed by observing a set of characteristic symptoms that affect motor control: resting tremor, bradykinesia, and hypertonia. Resting tremor is an oscillating movement that occurs when the patient is trying to be still. [courses.washington.edu]

  Low-amplitude bilateral upper limb resting tremor, bradykinesia and ataxic gait was present. Laboratory investigations indicated raised blood urea, 76 mg/dL (17-43) and serum creatinine, 8.3 mg/L (0.5-1.1) levels. [jneuro.com]

• Dysarthria

  Neurological examination revealed dysarthria, dysphonia and quadriparesis. Low-amplitude bilateral upper limb resting tremor, bradykinesia and ataxic gait was present. [jneuro.com]

  The pseudobulbar signs (948) include dysphagia with hyperactive gag reflex, emotional incontinence, and a severe dysarthria that combines pseudobulbar, parkinsonian and cerebellar features (950,951). [neuroophthalmology.ca]

  A single case has been reported who had both the movement disorders co-existing. [4] Other less common neurological features have included mild confusional state, gait disturbances, dysarthria, and dysphagia. [annalsofian.org]

  Most of these patients have early gait difficulty and there is often a significant dysarthria early in the course. Voluntary vertical gaze is also affected very early in the course. [dartmouth.edu]

• Abnormal Gait

  Truncal dyskinesia, right side predominant limbs chorea, cervical dystonia and abnormal gait gradually developed. Laboratory data showed hyperglycemia (sugar: 436 mg/dl). [mdsabstracts.org]
