Abstract

Investigators at the Clinical Epilepsy and Neurorehabilitation Sections, NIH, Bethesda, MD; Albert Ludwigs University, Freiberg, Germany; and Children's National Medical Center, Washington, DC used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to quantify the excitation and inhibition in primary motor cortex in 8 patients (mean age 15.4 years) with succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) deficiency.

Highlights

  • Researchers in the Departments of Medicine and Neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL evaluated the effect of simulation

  • Long interval intracortical inhibition was significantly reduced and the cortical silent period was significantly shortened in patients with succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) deficiency compared to heterozygous parents and controls

  • transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may be helpful in detection of homozygous carriers and in diagnosis of SSADH deficiency
