Familial spasmodic torticollis.

Presented are four cases of familial spasmodic torticollis, comprising members of three families. The age of onset tended to be family-specific, and no afflicted family member had evidence of more widespread disease (dystonia musculorum deformans). Familial incidence supports the conclusion that spasmodic torticollis is organic in origin. Familial spasmodic torticollis occurs more often than has been generally recognized.

A pseudohemipharetic form of Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease can present as a progressive hemiparesis without tremor. The presence of mild cogwheel rigidity in a hemiparetic patient may suggest the diagnosis, as may the normal findings on brain scan and electroencephalogram in a patient with gradually evolving hemiparesis. The response to appropriate medication has been prompt and excellent. It is important that Parkinson's disease be considered in the differential diagnosis of a progressively evolving hemiparesis.
