Brain tumors can cause unusual movement disorders like hemichorea and parkinsonism. Early diagnosis through advanced imaging is crucial for timely treatment and improved outcomes in patients with brain tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Movement disorders are rare initial symptoms of brain tumors.
  • Prompt identification of brain tumors presenting with movement disorders is essential to prevent neurological deficits.
  • This study investigates the relationship between brain tumors and various movement disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical presentation and outcomes of patients with movement disorders secondary to brain tumors.
  • To highlight the importance of neuroimaging in diagnosing brain tumors presenting with atypical movement disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of seven patients diagnosed with movement disorders due to brain tumors over seven years.
  • Review of patient data including tumor type, location, presenting symptoms, and treatment outcomes.

  • Correlation of imaging findings (CT/MRI) with clinical presentation.

    • Main Results:

    • Two intrinsic thalamic astrocytomas presented with hemichorea.
    • Five extrinsic tumors included a pituitary macroadenoma with hemiballismus and four meningiomas with parkinsonism.
    • Surgical intervention led to relief of movement disorders in most patients, with unilateral symptoms being most common.

    Conclusions:

    • Brain tumors, both intrinsic and extrinsic, can manifest as diverse movement disorders.
    • Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are vital for evaluating movement disorders, particularly when atypical or unilateral.
    • Early surgical management of brain tumors causing movement disorders can significantly improve patient symptoms.
