โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

The term โ€œcamptocormiaโ€ describes a severe forwardโ€flexed posture. Although initially used to describe a conversion disorder, early authors also recognized organic camptocormia occurring in old age, or โ€œcamptocormie senile,โ€ as well as traumatic and arthritic camptocormia. More recently, camptocormia has been described in patients with Parkinson's disease and in an individual with parkinsonism. We describe a case of progressive camptocormia as part of the initial presentation of a patient with multiple system atrophy. ยฉ 2005 Movement Disorder Society

## Abstract Camptocormia (CC) or pronounced forward flexion of the trunk is a common symptom of Parkinson's disease. We describe 2 patients with probable, respectively possible multipleโ€system atrophy and CC. Magnetic resonance imaging of the erector trunci showed focal patchy hyperintensities with

## Abstract The cerebellar variant of multiple system atrophy (MSAโ€C) has overlapping clinical features with the hereditary spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), but can usually be distinguished on a clinical basis. We describe a patient who developed a sporadic, lateโ€onset, rapidly progressive neurodege

## Abstract The temporal discrimination threshold (TDT), the shortest time interval that allows two temporally separated successive stimuli to be perceived as two different stimuli, is a constituent of kinesthetic sensation. Intact kinesthesia is a necessity for wellโ€controlled voluntary movements.

We read with great interest the paper by Salazar and colleagues, analyzing postural and action myoclonus in patients with parkinsonian-type multiple system atrophy (pMSA). 1 We agree with their observation that abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) involving fingers and hands are frequently seen in
