Abstract
A 32-year-old woman had experienced recurrent seizures since infancy, with progressive ataxia, dystonia, and electrolyte disturbances, suggesting a possible genetic tubulopathy with neurological manifestations. The complexity of her presentation highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the role of genetic investigations in uncovering rare conditions that bridge neurology and nephrology.
期刊介绍:
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
