Anesthetic Management For Parkinsonian Patients
Emad Abdel-Rahman Ibrahim;
Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a disease of insidious onset usually in the second half of life , characterized clinically by slowly progressive akinesia , rigidity , postural abnormality and tremor.
The symptoms of Parkinson's disease have now been established as due to decrease of dopamine in the caudate nucleus and putamen consequent to degeneration of the substantia nigra .
Although there is no treatment that is known to halt or reverse the neuronal degeneration that presumably underlies Parkinson's disease , methods are now available which can bring about a considerable degree of relief from symptoms in many patients . These methods should be adapted to the patient's needs , which vary with the stage of the disease and the predominant manifestations .
