    الوصف: Although sporadic thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) has a much higher prevalence in Asian than in all the other populations studied so far, it is also increasingly being seen at the emergency departments of the West, hence, it is vital to stress the importance of recognizing it. TPP shares some similarities with hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HOKPP). However, the pathophysiology of TPP and the reasons for this higher incidence are not known. We hypothesized that some mutations in the CACNA1S gene, which has been implicated in familial HOKPP, might play a role in TPP. We present 5 Chinese patients who suffer from TPP and demonstrate typical clinical features. No mutation was found on the whole CACNA1S gene. Therefore other molecular mechanisms will have to be examined in order to explain the different TPP incidences.

    الوصف: Posttraumatic movement disorders remain a controversial issue with focal dystonia being a prominent representative. Focal dystonia of the shoulder without concomittant cervical dystonia is a rare event. We describe 2 patients who, after minor trauma, developed focal dystonia of the shoulder with severe chronic pain. Response to local botulinum toxin A was favorable in 1 patient.

    الوصف: A 64-year-old woman presented with complaints about facial spasms, difficulty in opening her mouth and intermittent short episodes of horizontal diplopia. The diagnosis of a purely cephalic tetanus was made. While her eye movements appeared normal on clinical examination, infrared reflection oculography revealed a saccadic abnormality which could explain her diplopia. In view of today's pathophysiological concepts on tetanus an attempt is made to explain the eye movement disorder by disturbed inhibitory mechanisms in the brainstem.
