A case report of adult-onset Alexander disease clinically presenting as Parkinson's disease: is the comorbidity associated with genetic susceptibility?

BMC neurology - 17 Jan 2020

Park Jongkyu, Park Sung-Tae, Kim Jieun, Kwon Kyum-Yil

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Alexander disease is a rare neurological disease characterized by progressive spastic quadriparesis and bulbar palsy. Moreover, certain patients with adult-onset Alexander disease were often misdiagnosed as other neurodegenerative disorders. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report an adult a 58-year-old woman presented with typical parkinsonism with good levodopa-responsiveness. The patient's dopamine...
