Preferred Label : parkinson disease, postencephalitic;
MeSH definition : Parkinsonism following encephalitis, historically seen as a sequella of encephalitis
lethargica (Von Economo Encephalitis). The early age of onset, the rapid progression
of symptoms followed by stabilization, and the presence of a variety of other neurological
disorders (e.g., sociopathic behavior; TICS; MUSCLE SPASMS; oculogyric crises; hyperphagia;
and bizarre movements) distinguish this condition from primary PARKINSON DISEASE.
Pathologic features include neuronal loss and gliosis concentrated in the MESENCEPHALON;
SUBTHALAMUS; and HYPOTHALAMUS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed,
p754);
