acetazolamide and Chorea

acetazolamide has been researched along with Chorea in 7 studies

Acetazolamide: One of the CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS that is sometimes effective against absence seizures. It is sometimes useful also as an adjunct in the treatment of tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and atonic seizures, particularly in women whose seizures occur or are exacerbated at specific times in the menstrual cycle. However, its usefulness is transient often because of rapid development of tolerance. Its antiepileptic effect may be due to its inhibitory effect on brain carbonic anhydrase, which leads to an increased transneuronal chloride gradient, increased chloride current, and increased inhibition. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1991, p337)

Chorea: Involuntary, forcible, rapid, jerky movements that may be subtle or become confluent, markedly altering normal patterns of movement. Hypotonia and pendular reflexes are often associated. Conditions which feature recurrent or persistent episodes of chorea as a primary manifestation of disease are referred to as CHOREATIC DISORDERS. Chorea is also a frequent manifestation of BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Clinical details are given of different types of episodic ataxia: type 1, with myokymia, and attacks which usually last a few minutes, and may occur several times a day, and treatment with acetazolamide can reduce the number of attacks; type 2, with interictal nystagmus, and attacks which last for several hours to a day or more, and treatment with acetazolamide is very effective; paroxysmal choreoathetosis with episodic ataxia, with attacks lasting for about 20 min and occurring at varying intervals; and familial hemiplegic migraine, with transient hemiplegia presenting during the aura of a migraine headache, the symptoms improving on treatment with acetazolamide."4.80Episodic ataxia and channelopathies. ( Gordon, N, 1998)
"Acetazolamide was administered to 6 dogs, and 4 dogs experienced a decrease in episode frequency."1.56Phenotypic characterization of paroxysmal dyskinesia in Maltese dogs. ( Bhatti, SFM; Broeckx, BJG; Charalambous, M; Cornelis, I; Polidoro, D; Santens, P; Van Ham, L, 2020)
