Abstract:
Secondary Parkinson's disease or subacute Parkinson's may occur after stroke, drug overdose carbon monoxide or manganese toxicity, and rarely owing to a brain tumor. Loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substansia negra pars compacta (SNc), or presence of the proteinaceous inclusions called Lewy bodies are thought to be the cause of Parkinson's disease. Notwithstanding, in the past few decades, many case reports have been published describing Parkinson's symptoms following either stroke, ischemia, toxicity, brain haemorrhage or rarely neoplasm.
Learning Points:
Brain tumours can cause secondary parkinsonism.This type of secondary parkinsonism improves when the tumour is removed.

The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
