Résumé
The present case study reported a patient diagnosed with hypertrophic olivary degeneration, a rare condition characterized by a trans-neuronal degeneration and signal enhancement in T2-weighted images on magnetic resonance imaging, usually caused by cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and trauma. Furthermore, the relevant literature review was performed. The existing pharmacological treatment has limited clinical benefits on the patient. Since spontaneous remission hardly occurs in the disease, there are no other effective treatments. In this case, the patient was a 55-year-old Chinese male who presented progressive gait difficulty for several months due to both-sided ataxia. Neurological examination revealed upper extremity and lower limb bilateral spasticity, ataxia, slurred speech, and dysmetria. Therefore, our study treated the patient through the inventive application of cerebello-spinal transcranial direct current stimulation and body weight-supported treadmill training. After a 4-week treatment, the patient could walk independently, without aid, speeding up by 7%, as well as the ataxia symptoms, and balance has improved significantly. It was demonstrated in this case report that the combination of cerebello-spinal tDCS and body weight-supported treadmill training can be an effective treatment for patients with Hypertrophic olivary degeneration.
