What is Machado-Joseph Disease? Machado-Joseph disease (MJD)-also called spinocerebellar ataxia type 3-is a rare hereditary ataxia. (Ataxia is a general term meaning lack of muscle control.) The disease is characterized by clumsiness and weakness in the arms and legs, spasticity, a staggering lurching gait easily mistaken for drunkenness, difficulty with speech and swallowing, involuntary eye movements, double vision, and frequent urination. Some patients have dystonia (sustained muscle contractions that cause twisting of the body and limbs, repetitive movements, abnormal postures, and/or rigidity) or symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's disease. Others have twitching of the face or tongue, or peculiar bulging eyes. The severity of the disease is related to the age of onset, with earlier onset associated with a more severe form of the disease. Symptoms can begin any time between early adolescence and about 70 years of age. MJD is also a progressive disease, meaning that symptoms get worse with time. Life expectancy ranges from the mid-thirties for those with severe forms of MJD to a normal life expectancy for those with mild forms. For those who die early from the disease, the cause of death is often aspiration pneumonia.

Medical Services Treatment of Paraneoplastic Neurological Disorders at Mayo Clinic in Rochester (Synonyms: cerebellar degeneration, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, limbic encephalitis, myasthenic syndrome, paraneoplastic disorder, stiff-man syndrome) Patients who have cancer can develop problems with the brain, spinal cord or nerves, even though their cancer is small and has not spread to the nervous system. These "paraneoplastic neurological disorders" are uncommon and usually appear in patients even before their cancer is diagnosed. In fact, the cancer can be extremely difficult to find. It is thought that the neurological problems occur when the body's immune system becomes activated to fight the cancer cells but accidentally attacks the brain or nerves as well. The most common cancers are lung, breast and ovary. Patients who have these disorders often have abnormal antibodies in their blood or spinal fluid, and tests for these antibodies help to make the diagnosis. Doctors at Mayo Clinic have been interested in paraneoplastic neurological disorders for over 30 years and have published many articles on this topic. In fact, many paraneoplastic syndromes and paraneoplastic antibody tests were first discovered at Mayo Clinic.

Zellweger syndrome is a rare, congenital (present at birth) disorder characterized by the reduction or absence of peroxisomes (cell structures that rid the body of toxic substances) in the cells of the liver, kidneys, and brain. Zellweger syndrome is one of a group of genetic disorders called peroxisomal diseases that affect brain development and the growth of the myelin sheath, the fatty covering—which acts as an insulator—on nerve fibers in the brain. The most common features of Zellweger syndrome include an enlarged liver, high levels of iron and copper in the blood, and vision disturbances. Some affected infants may show prenatal growth failure. Symptoms at birth may include lack of muscle tone and an inability to move. Other symptoms may include unusual facial characteristics, mental retardation, seizures, and an inability to suck and/or swallow. Jaundice and gastrointestinal bleeding may also occur.

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), also called familial spastic paraparesis (FSP), refers to a group of inherited disorders that are characterized by progressive weakness and stiffness of the legs. Though the primary feature of HSP is severe, progressive, lower extremity spasticity, in more complicated forms it can be accompanied by other neurological symptoms. These include optic neuropathy, retinopathy (diseases of the retina), dementia, ataxia (lack of muscle control), icthyosis (a skin disorder resulting in dry, rough, scaly skin), mental retardation, peripheral neuropathy, and deafness. Diagnosis is primarily by neurological examination and testing to exclude other disorders. Specialized genetic testing and diagnosis are available at some medical centers.

Glossary Voice Symptom Is Clue to Neurological Disorder Voice disturbance can be the first sign of a neurological disease. Neurological Voice Disorders Accompanied by Other Symptoms Although a change in voice can be the primary component of a neurological disease, other accompanying signs and symptoms are usually present as well. Key Clues Obtained From History and Physical Examination Neurological voice problems are primarily diagnosed via patient history and physical examination. Treatment for Neurological Voice Disorders Aimed at Improving Voice Function Usually, there is no specific cure for the underlying neurological disease; treatment is typically aimed at minimizing symptoms and improving function. Treatment may involve care from a speech-language pathologist and an otolaryngologist. Improving Voice and Speech Function Can Improve Quality of Life As patients' life expectancy and prognoses from the neurological disease improve, quality of life issues such as voice and communication become more important problems to address.

Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Additional resources from MEDLINEplus What is Restless Legs Syndrome? Restless legs syndrome is a sensori-motor (movement) disorder characterized by uncomfortable sensations in the legs, which are worse during periods of inactivity or rest or while sitting or lying down. There is often a positive family history of the disorder. Individuals affected with the disorder describe the sensations as pulling, drawing, crawling, wormy, boring, tingling, pins and needles, prickly, and sometimes painful sensations that are usually accompanied by an overwhelming urge to move the legs. Sudden muscle jerks may also occur. Movement provides temporary relief from the discomfort. In rare cases, the arms may also be affected. Symptoms may interfere with sleep onset (sleep onset insomnia). Research suggests that restless legs syndrome is related to periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), another more common motor disorder which causes interrupted sleep. The symptoms often exhibit circadian rhythmicity in their peak occurrence during awakening hours.

The term pinched nerve describes one type of damage or injury to a nerve or set of nerves. The injury may result from compression, constriction, or stretching. Symptoms include numbness, "pins and needles" or burning sensations, and pain radiating outward from the injured area. One of the most common examples of a single compressed nerve is the feeling of having a foot or hand "fall asleep." Pinched nerves can sometimes lead to other conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow. The extent of such injuries may vary from minor, temporary damage to a more permanent condition. Early diagnosis is important to prevent further damage or complications. Pinched nerve is a common cause of on-the-job injury. Is there any treatment?
