Abstract
Post-traumatic encephalopathy is characterized by the combination of upper motor neurons, basal ganglia, cerebellar, and psychiatric disturbances. A “striatal” variant, with predominant parkinsonism, is uncommon and may be difficult to distinguish from idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. A 38-year-old man, who had history of head injuries associated with brief losses of consciousness, developed a resting tremor and rigidity of the left lower extremity. Upon admission, he showed masked face and bradykinesia without dementia or other neurologic abnormalities. Brain MRI and SPECT studies showed no abnormalities. A BAEP study revealed an abnormal prolongation of inter-peak latencies between wave III and V. J Korean Neurol Assoc 17(6):901~903, 1999 Key Words : Head trauma, Parkinsonism
