Although several neurological syndromes have been described in COVID-19, little is known about cognitive dysfunction in this setting. The social isolation, such as we are experiencing now due to the SARSCoV-2 pandemic, a signifcant limitation assessment in these patients. Thus, alternative methods assess function in large, community-dispersed populations containing an unknown proportion of individuals with impairment desirable. Additionally, screening must be inexpensive and accessible...

Introdução: A realidade virtual (RV) pode ser uma ferramenta terapêutica utilizada no campo da neurorreabilitação. É considerada atividade lúdica que fornece feedback visual e auditivo, facilitando a adesão dos pacientes ao tratamento. Objetivo: Realizar revisão de literatura respeito influência RV na reabilitação com doença Parkinson. Método: Utilizamos como base dados os sistemas virtuais das bibliotecas Medline, PEDro, Lilacs, Scielo Pubmed, partir seguintes descritores: Doença Parkinson...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the degeneration of dopaminergic systems in central nervous system. In migraine it supposed to occur hyperactivation pathways. We verified hypothesis improved patients who manifest PD. evaluated 109 with PD over 40 years (57 men and 52 women) about presence throughout life migraine, as well possibility improvement after onset motor symptoms This group was compared a control 152 people (41 without regarding its improvement. Twenty-one manifested...

Myocardial scintigraphy with meta-iodo-benzyl-guanidine (123I cMIBG) has been studied in Parkinson's disease (PD), especially Asian countries, but not Latin America. Most of these studies include individuals PD associated to a defined dysautonomia. Our goal is report the cardiac sympathetic neurotransmission de novo Brazilian patients sporadic PD, without clinically We evaluated retrospectively series 21 consecutive cases symptoms or signs dysautonomia assessed by standard bedside tests....

The syndrome of progressive, ascending or descending hemiplegia, with no significant sensory impairment was first describes by Mills in 1900, which several cases were reported later. However after diagnostic tests and image improvements, the number reports has shortened. A possible explanation for this shortage is identification other diseases that could mimic clinical picture. Currently, an uncertain nosological status, since it described based on examination only. We can find presentation...

Chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs) usually occur late in adults and older after mild head trauma. Surgical intervention is the first treatment option CSDH with conservative management being adopted few cases.We report a case of 71-year-old man who presented spontaneous resolution large CSDH. He difficulty speech an ataxic gait. Head (computed tomography scan) showed low-density lesion located right frontal-temporal-parietal region.In this report, we discuss elderly patients, without surgical...

Recent publications have highlighted the low sensitivity of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for cognitive assessment patients with Parkinson disease (PD). The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), otherwise, has shown greater when compared to MMSE. Based on this, we searched impairment measurable by MoCA and functional performance activities daily living in a sample Brazilian PD normal We hypothesized that MMSE, already other authors, could be replicated low-income country.To describe...
