Alpha-like activity in terminal stage of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

“…Palilalia is a speech abnormality characterized by compulsive repetition of a phrase or word. This symptom has been reported in other neurological diseases such as pseudobulbar palsy, postencephalitic parkinsonism, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), Alzheimer's disease, and cerebral infarction (5–10). The causative mechanism of palilalia has not yet been clarified; however, according to these reports, palilalia is thought to be related to lesions in the bilateral thalami, midbrain, basal ganglia, and supplementary motor area.…”

Two Forms of Palilalia: A Clinicoanatomical Study

“…It has been reported in pseudobulbar palsy (Dupre and Savoureux, 1914) and some Parkinson syndromes such as postencephalitic Parkinsonism (Sterling, 1924;Marie and Levy, 1925) and idiopathic Parkinson's disease (Pick, 1921). It also occurs in patients with post-traumatic encephalopathy, paramedian thalamic and midbrain infarcts (Hasegawa et al, 1986;Yasuda et al, 1990), cerebral infarction (Sato et al, 1991), intracerebral hemorrhage (lbayashi et al, 1990), familial idiopathic cerebral calcifications (Boller et al, 1973) and degenerative diseases, such as Pick's disease (Caron, 1934;Guiraud, 1936;Hamanaka, 1986;Otsuka et al, 1988), Alzheimer's disease (Frey, 1914) and progressive supranuclear palsy (Lebrun et al, 1986;Uyama et aI., 1989). Sterling (1924) divided palilalia in postencephalitic Parkinsonism syndrome into two types: palilalie spasmodique resp.…”

Focal neurocognitive dysfunctions in abstinence delirium: a case report

“…22 Nadat Souques aantoonde dat beide taalpathologische fenomenen niet inherent met elkaar verbonden zijn, werd de term palilalie ingevoerd. 23 Tot nog toe werd de palilalie overwegend beschouwd als een geassocieerde 'extrapiramidale taalstoornis' bij aandoeningen zoals encephalitis lethargica, pseudo-bulbaire paralyse, 24 morbus Alzheimer, 25 morbus Parkinson, 26 (postencefalitisch) parkinsonisme, 2729 en morbus Fahr. Mede als gevolg van patholoog-anatomisch onderzoek werd lange tijd aangenomen dat de palilalie de klinische manifestatie vormt van een bilaterale aantasting van de basale ganglia.…”
