Abstract
- We here report on a case of CD with epileptic seizures and progressive hyperkinetic movement disorder and discuss neuroimaging findings with brain [ SP 18 sp F]FDG-PET/MRI study. Neurological manifestations of CD include epileptic seizures, cerebellar ataxia, and movement disorders such as myoclonus, dystonia, chorea, and parkinsonism [[2]]. The findings from this case report suggest that etiology of the progressive complex hyperkinetic syndrome characterized by stimulus-sensitive myoclonus associated with dystonia and gait ataxia might be sustained by a CD-related autoimmune process.
