Medical Question

08-11-2006, 06:00 PM

I was just reading a book regarding nuerolgical diseases and i began to wonder.

If Tourette's Syndrome is caused by a surplus of dopamine in the brain and Parkinson's is caused by a deficit of dopamine, then what would happen to a Tourette's syndrome patient who got Parkinson's.

Would he even out.

EDIT: Yes i know 95% of gfy has no idea what im talking about, but some people here are actually smart.

Care about me?

possibly mutually exclusive. You can't have an excess and a deficit at the same time

I'd say if someone had Tourette's and developed Parkinson's, then the Tourettte's symptoms would resolve as the Parkinson's took over. So perhaps there'd be a middle ground, before the Parkinson's became obvious the Tourette's would lessen.

good question

most likely not.. as peeps with tourettes have other neurological issues going on so one doesnt cover the other

It's like asking:
if X disorder is caused by high blood pressure and
if Y disorder is caused by low blood pressure
what would happen to a person who has both X and Y disorder?

Nothing would happen to him... he would have both X and Y disorder, and he would be fucked since neither X or Y could be treated without fucking up the other...

I think it depends on where in the brain the Dopamine imabalance is - you can have an imbalance in just one or more areas in the brain so as Parkinson's and Tourettes are related to different areas of the brain it could be possible to have both.

Of course I could be talking shit, but its an educated guess.

Your premise is wrong.

The patient doesn't start with X and Y disorder they start with X and then go on to develop Y. The question is, when Y is present do they still have X? Quite possibly, but it's also very possible the symptoms would be reduced.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Citation

"A patient with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome later developed Parkinson's disease in middle age. This was accompanied by a marked reduction in the frequency of tics but levodopa toxicity exacerbated the tics. The dopamine hypothesis of tic disorders is supported by this observation"
