    Objectives: To evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived parameters in differentiation of patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) from patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and control subjects was aimed. Methods: Thirty-three patients [mean age, 65.21 +/- 4.75 years; PSP (n = 9), MSA (n = 8), PD (n = 6), and control subjects (n = 10)] who have undergone cranial MRI were included in this retrospective study. MRI-derived parameters including areas of midbrain and pons, midbrain area-to-pons area (M/P) ratio, widths of middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) and superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP), MCP/SCP ratio, magnetic resonance parkinsonism index (MRPI), cerebral interpeduncular angle, and length of midbrain tegmentum were compared in patients with PSP, PD, MSA, and control subjects through the analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis tests with Bonferroni correction and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The length of midbrain tegmentum, midbrain area, SCP, and M/P ratio were found to be lower, while cerebral interpeduncular angle and MRPI were higher in patients with PSP. Pons area, MCP width, and MCP/SCP ratio were found to be lower in patients with MSA. For PSP, cerebral interpeduncular angle has a sensitivity of 100% and specifity of 90%, and MRPI had a sensitivity of 88.9% and specifity of 100% for PSP. Discussion: Several MRI-derived parameters can be used in differentiation of patients with PSP from patients with PD, MSA and control subjects. The cerebral interpeduncular angle and MRPI, which demonstrated higher values in patients with PSP, were more significant for PSP than the other parameters.

    Characterizing the Intraoperative Microelectrode Recording-Induced Microlesion Effect on Motor Symptoms in Patients with Parkinson's Disease Undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation of the Subthalamic Nucleus
    (2019) Aygun, Dursun; Dere, Umit Akin; Yildiz, Onur; Temel, Yasin; Kocabicak, Ersoy; 30649828
    AIM: To investigate microelectrode recording (MER)-induced microlesion effect (MLE) on the motor symptoms of 30 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who underwent deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus. MATERIAL and METHODS: MER-induced MLE was evaluated based on the difference between tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia scores in the preoperative off-state and intraoperative state following MER and before test stimulation. RESULTS: MLE scores improved by 21.7% [left (L) side] and by 13.6% [right (R) side] from baseline (p<0.05). Tremor scores improved by 31.5% (L) and by 14.2% (R) (p<0.05), rigidity scores improved by 17.3% (L) and by 14.2% (R) (p<0.05) and bradykinesia scores improved by 20.6% (L) and by 11.5% (R) (p<0.05) from baseline. There was no significant difference between MLE and the number of microelectrodes used (p> 0.05). CONCLUSION: MER-induced MLE improved motor symptoms and was not correlated with the number of microelectrodes used during the procedure.
