Multiple sclerosis is still regarded primarily as a disease of the white matter. However, recent evidence suggests that there may be significant involvement of gray matter. Here, we have used magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy in vivo and histopathology postmortem to esti

Blepharospasm Associated with Pseudohypoparathyroidism and Bilateral Basal Ganglia Calcifications
To the Editor: Blepharospasm is a focal dystonia (I), most of the time idiopathic, that can be connected with many neurological, ophthalmological, or metabolic conditions, and sometimes with a focal lesion of the central nervous system
(2,3). Its pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Marsden (4) attributed it to a basal ganglia dysfunction, whereas Jankovic (3) considered it a disorder.of rostral-

FIG. 1. SPECT study performed with technetium-99m-ethyl cysteinate dimer. The images were analyzed with an easy Z-score (eZIS) imaging system. The first eZIS images on SPECT showed increased rCBF in the right medial temporal lobe (A). The second eZIS images on SPECT revealed that the increased rCBF
This difference may be attributable to the degeneration of cholinergic neurons in the basal ganglia in PSP but not in Parkinson's disease 131. The extrapyramidal A Reliable Serum Index of Demyelination in Multiple response to physostigmine could serve as an early means to differentiate these two dis
