• TITLE: A case of mixed geno—Phenotype of generalized dystonia and strumpel disease

  AUTHORS: Vadim Belenky

  KEYWORDS: Dystonia; Strumpel Disease; DYT 1

  JOURNAL NAME: Case Reports in Clinical Medicine, Vol.2 No.8, November 5, 2013

  ABSTRACT: Background: Strumpel disease and dystonia are inherited disorders with the clinical picture of spastic paraparesis and hyperkinesis respectively. We present a case of a patient born from parents with these diseases who developed neurologic phenomena uncharacteristic for the classical clinical picture of his parents’ disorders. Case report: Patient V., 12, born from his father with generalized dystonia and mother with Strumpel disease, has flaccid lower paraplegia along with dystonic hyperkinesis in neck and arms. Discussion: The flaccid lower paraplegia could be caused by the anterior horn lesion. This phenomenon is unclear because anterior horn lesions were not diagnosed in the proband’s parents.
