摘要
The patient, who died at 23 years of age, was first diagnosed when she was 12 year old as having a dopa-responsive dystonia with decreased concentrations of monoamine metabolites in the cerebrospinal fluid. Also the concentrations of other neurotransmitters including somatostatin, substance P and metenkefalin were lowered indicating a more widespread damage of the cerebral neurotransmittor systems. At autopsy the brain was essentially intact except for pronounced gliosis and extreme loss of melanotic nerve cells in the substantia nigra. Several remaining nerve cells showed the presence of Lewy bodies.
