Excerpt from Archives of Neurology and Psychiatry, Vol. 8 Neurologic Examination (feb. 9, - General Survey: The patient was poorly nourished and weighed 125 pounds (56 kg). He was nervous and trembling, and sweated profusely at the time of examination. A fine muscular tremor was present on both sides of the face and neck, most marked on the left side. The thyroid cartilage was drawn somewhat to the right. The Romberg sign was negative, and the gait was normal. Coordination: A slight ataxia was present in the finger to nose test, with marked intention tremor. The heel to knee test was normal. The spread fingers showed a coarse tremor. An intention tremor was present when the patient attempted coordinate movements (reaching for a glass) under observation. Neuromuscular: Twitchings (tremor) of facial and platysma muscles were present; there was a slight atrophy of the right platysma. The muscles of mastication seemed weak as a whole; there was marked atrophy of the left masseter and temporal muscles. The left pterygoids were involved (inability to move the jaw laterally to the right as far as to the left). The grip of the teeth was weak; the grip was weak in both hands, more marked in the right. Reflexes: The tendon reflexes were hyperactive throughout. There were no pathologic pyramidal reflexes: the Babinski, Oppenheim and Gordon signs were negative.
