Abstract

Gait ignition failure (GIF) is clinically and pathologically a poorly defined term that has gone with many different names before. Coexistence with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, multisystem atrophy, vascular parkinsonism, posthypoxic pallidal lesions and normal pressure hydrocephalus is common. Primary GIF is rare. Main problem is start hesitation and freezing. Here, we present a 69 year old woman whose chief complaint is difficulty of gait. She did not have any other extrapiramidal signs and her MRI did not reveal any abnormality. She was diagnosed as primary gait ignition failure.

Özet

Yürümeye başlama yetersizliği (YBY) klinik ve patolojik olarak iyi tanımlanmamış ve günümüze dek birçok farklı isimlerle anılmış bir tablodur. İdiopatik Parkinson hastalığı, progresif supranükleer felç, multisistem atrofi, vasküler parkinsonizm, posthipoksik pallidal lezyonlar ve normal basınçlı hidrosefali ile birlikteliği sıktır. Primer YBY nadirdir. Temel problem harekete başlama kararsızlığı ve donmalardır. Bu makalede, 69 yaşında, hastanemize yürüme bozukluğu yakınması ile başvuran ve eşlik eden diğer ekstrapiramidal bulguları olmayan, görüntüleme yöntemlerinin negatif olması ile diğer hastalıklar ekarte edildikten sonra primer YBY tanısı konulan bir hasta sunulmuştur.
