Abstract:
Parkinsonism has been reported as a complication of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) or clinical symptoms of chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH). We report an interesting case of parkinsonism in a patient with CSDH secondary to placement of a VPS for obstructive hydrocephalus, and we discuss the possible pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment.

Parkinson's Disease: Overview
2.2K
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
