Curbside Consult

Welcome to the Curbside Consult!

This new feature highlights one challenging case every month to encourage our general membership to view the case and express their opinions and suggestions. Selected cases come from you, our society members, and your “challenge” can be diagnostic, therapeutic or both. You are welcome to submit your special case or to answer the current Curbside Consult presented below.

This feature is designed to encourage constructive clinical and scientific interchange among our members and to highlight interesting and challenging cases that we face on a daily basis. The Movement Disorder Society does not necessarily agree with the opinions expressed by the general membership, and bears no responsibility to the clinical care of the featured cases.

Members may submit a case online or by mail. If you are not a member of the Movement Disorder Society, please submit your case to us by mail or e-mail at: hschudrowitz@movementdisorders.org.
