## Abstract Four patients with vitamin E deficiency and sensory ataxia were studied using [^18^F]dopa positron emission tomography. The 2 most disabled patients, who had severe and prolonged vitamin E deficiency due to abetalipoproteinemia, showed reduced [^18^F]dopa uptake in both putamen and caud
There is increasing evidence for familial aggregation in Parkinson's disease (PD). It is possible that some asymptomatic relatives of I'D patients have subclinical nigral Lewy body pathology and their identification could help determine the true prevalence of the disease. We used 18F-dopa positron e
Stereotactic posteroventral pallidotomy can improve motor performance in Parkinson's disease. Interruption of inhibitory pallidal projections to ventrolateral thalamus, components of a cortical-basal ganglia motor loop allows for this clinical benefit. We hypothesized that pallidotomy would lead to
