ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Sports activities associated with repetitive cranial trauma have become a fad and are popular in gyms and even among children. It is important to consistently characterize the consequences of such sports activities in order to better advise society on the real risks to the central nervous system. We present the case of a former boxer reporting cognitive and behavioral symptoms that began six years after his retirement as a boxer, evolving progressively with parkinsonian and cerebellar features suggestive of probable chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Using our case as a paradigm, we extended the range of differential diagnosis of CTE, including corticobasal degeneration, multiple system atrophy, vitamin B12 deficiency, neurosyphilis, frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
RESUMO
RESUMO As atividades esportivas associadas ao trauma craniano repetitivo tornaram-se uma moda e são populares nas academias e entre as crianças. É importante fazer uma caracterização consistente das consequências de tais atividades esportivas, a fim de aconselhar melhor uma sociedade sobre os riscos reais para o sistema nervoso central. Apresentamos um antigo boxeador relatando sintomas cognitivos e comportamentais que começaram seis anos após sua aposentadoria como boxeador e evoluiu progressivamente com características parkinsonianas e cerebelares sugestivas de provável encefalopatia traumática crônica (ETC). Usando nosso caso como paradigma, ampliamos a gama de diagnóstico diferencial de ETC, incluindo degeneração corticobasal, atrofia de múltiplos sistemas, deficiência de vitamina B12, neurossífilis, demência frontotemporal e doença de Alzheimer.
