What examination does Parkinson need to do

summary

The year before last, my father was found to have Parkinson's disease, with severe body changes on the right side of his body and severe tremors in his limbs. Moreover, the right limb of the patient had obvious muscle atrophy and myotonia. Saliva can't swallow and salivate. In order to prevent this situation, let me introduce to you what tests Parkinson needs to do.

What examination does Parkinson need to do

First: clinical manifestations: most patients with Parkinson's disease developed after 60 years old, occasionally in their 20s. The onset was more insidious, developing slowly and aggravating gradually.

Second: auxiliary examination: the content of homovanillic acid in cerebrospinal fluid and urine can be detected by high performance liquid chromatography. Cranial CT can show widening of sulcus and enlargement of ventricle.

Third: exclude Parkinson's syndrome caused by encephalitis, cerebrovascular disease, poisoning, trauma, etc., and differentiate it from hysterical, tension, senile tremor.

matters needing attention

The diagnosis is mainly made according to the typical symptoms, and sometimes it is difficult to differentiate with the help of auxiliary examination.
