Brait–Fahn–Schwarz disease (result of two-year clinical follow-up)

Abstract

The article presents the result of a two-year follow-up of a patient with a combination of parkinsonism syndromes and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a rare form of a neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system called “Bright–Fan–Schwarz disease”. The diversity and polymorphism of symptoms in this disease can lead to diffi culties in diagnosis and therapy. The data of the patient’s anamnesis, the dynamics of the clinical picture during the stay in the hospital, the diagnostic and therapeutic measures taken, and the subsequent follow-up are given. In conclusion, a generalization of the features of the clinical picture and the progression of the disease in question is presented.
