Post-hypoxic chorea, dystonia, and parkinsonism: a case report and literature review

Key Points

To examine the relationship between global cerebral anoxia and resultant movement disorders.
Review of existing literature on post-hypoxic movement disorders
Case report demonstrating distinct movement patterns
Identification of basal ganglia injuries
Most patients present with either hyperkinetic or hypokinetic syndromes
Evidence of striatal, pallidal, and cortical injury contributing to mixed disorders
Case study illustrates unique manifestations of movement disorders

Abstract

• Post-hypoxic movement disorders are recognized complications of global cerebral anoxia. • The published literature demonstrates that nearly all patients exhibit a single predominant hyperkinetic or hypokinetic syndrome. • Our manuscript highlights how distinct basal ganglia injuries (striatal, pallidal, and cortical involvement) can converge to produce complex mixed movement disorders.
