Abstract
Great progress has been made in expanding our understanding of the natural history of movement disorders, leading to impressive advancements in their medical and surgical management. Movement disorders are a diverse group of diseases, varying widely in clinical characteristics and evolution. Some are monosymptomatic while others have associated motor and nonmotor features. Some are static while others follow a progressive course. This chapter will review common primary and secondary movement disorders: Parkinson disease and other forms of Parkinsonism, essential tremor and its differential diagnoses, dystonia and tic disorders. Herein, we will provide an overview of the clinical presentation and prognosis of the primary and secondary movement disorders most relevant to discussions of surgical candidacy.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1966, this series has become universally recognized as the most significant group of books serving neurological surgeons. Volumes feature contributions from distinguished international surgeons, who brilliantly review the literature from the perspective of their own personal experience. The result is a series of works providing critical distillations of developments of central importance to the theory and practice of neurological surgery.
