    Adult onset sporadic ataxias: a diagnostic challenge
    (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2014-03-01) Barsottini, Orlando Graziani Povoas [UNIFESP]; Albuquerque, Marcus Vinicius Cristino De; Braga Neto, Pedro; Pedroso, José Luiz; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade Estadual do Ceará Centro de Ciências da Saúde
    Patients with adult onset non-familial progressive ataxia are classified in sporadic ataxia group. There are several disease categories that may manifest with sporadic ataxia: toxic causes, immune-mediated ataxias, vitamin deficiency, infectious diseases, degenerative disorders and even genetic conditions. Considering heterogeneity in the clinical spectrum of sporadic ataxias, the correct diagnosis remains a clinical challenge. In this review, the different disease categories that lead to sporadic ataxia with adult onset are discussed with special emphasis on their clinical and neuroimaging features, and diagnostic criteria.

    Tremor essencial: observações clínicas
    (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 1993-09-01) Pereira, João S. [UNIFESP]; Pimentel, Maria Lúcia V.; Nicaretta, Denise H.; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Hospital Universitário Pedro Ernesto Ambulatório de Distúrbios do Movimento
    The authors have studied 53 patients with essential tremor, focusing its clinical and epidemiological aspects. There were familial history in 37.70% of all cases, prevailing in females (56.60%) and white people (69.80%); nevertheless this difference can not be assured from the statistical point of view due to lack of population data. We agreed that the main incidence of this syndrome occurred beyond the 5th decade, specially during the 6th and 7th decades. Topographically, we could observe that the hand tremor predominated, with an incidence of 96.20% of the total number of cases, followed by head tremor (28.30%), voice tremor (16.99%), leg tremor (11.30%), tongue tremor (3.78%) and trunk tremor (1.88%). These focal tremors were seldom observed alone and we noted frequent association with hand tremor.
