The authors describe three new patients in whom an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance was a constant finding, as well as clumsiness and delayed acquisition of independent gait. Treatment with levodopa was of clear benefit.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

He wasgenerally clumsy with bilateral dysdiadochokinesia. By age17 years, his tics had resolved. The nystagmus persisted buthe was otherwise well. DiscussionTo the authors knowledge, this ocular movementdisorder has not been reported previously.[docslide.net]
When last reviewed at the age of 16 years, neurological examination revealed no abnormalities other than a low-averageintelligence; MRI was normal.[docslide.com.br]
During this time he would con-tinue to play, but he had to hold his head downward to see.Over the next few years, the eye movements improved, buthe was hyperactive and had learning problems. FIGURE 1Case 3 at 20 months of age.[docslide.net]

We observed 16 children with PTU, from 10 months to 11 years from onset (mean, 5.4 years), to study the natural history and possible etiology. Five cases were from two unrelated families.[doi.org]
For example, staring spells or shaking that are infrequent and do not appear threatening can be managed as “paroxysmal events of uncertain etiology” until a specific diagnosis is made.[notes.childrenshospital.org]
The etiology of non-epileptic seizures is heterogeneous, with different predisposing, precipitating and promoting factors in different affected individuals.[epilepsydiagnosis.org]
Although our knowledgeand understanding of the etiology of white matter diseaseshas progressively increased, many cases with this disorderremain undiagnosed, despite extensive evaluations.[dokument.tips]
He is well known for his work on the classification of myoclonus and his studies on the physiology and pathophysiology of voluntary movement including dystonia.[books.google.com]
His main research interest is in movement disorders, specifically the merging of clinical, electrophysiological and imaging methods to provide insights into the pathophysiology of conditions like dystonia and Parkinson's disease.[books.google.com]
His translational research-oriented laboratory focuses on autoimmune mechanisms in autism, PANDAS, the neurobiology of tics, and the pathophysiology of stereotypic movements in animal models.[books.google.com]
An immature cortico-mesencephalic control of vertical gaze is postulated as the pathophysiology.[pediatricneurologybriefs.com]
The pathophysiological mechanisms are unknown. A localized neurotrans- mitter dysfunction affecting supranuclear pathways that control vertical eye- movements has been proposed by Ouvrier and Billson (1988).[docslide.com.br]
