The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of MD<\/jats:styled-content>s in an inpatient\/outpatient\u2010based study of rural and urban health care centers in Cameroon.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>In this retrospective medical chart review, the inpatient\/outpatients settings covered an urban population (3,000,000) and a rural population (380,276). Neurological diseases were classified according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases\u2010Related Health Problems, 10th revision (ICD<\/jats:styled-content>\u201010). Crude prevalence was calculated per 100 with 95% confidence intervals (CI<\/jats:styled-content>s).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Of 20,131 medical charts reviewed (13% from the rural area), 4187 patients (20.8%) with neurological complaints were identified. MD<\/jats:styled-content>s were diagnosed exclusively from urban centers in 134 patients (3.2%): the mean patient age was 48.6 \u00b1 18.6 years, and 54.7% were women. The most prevalent MD<\/jats:styled-content>s were hyperkinetic movements (tremor, myoclonus, and drug\u2010induced MD<\/jats:styled-content>s [ICD<\/jats:styled-content>\u201010 code G25]; prevalence, 1.19%; 95% CI<\/jats:styled-content>, 1.192\u20131.194%), Parkinson's disease (ICD<\/jats:styled-content>\u201010 code G20; prevalence, 0.78%; 95% CI<\/jats:styled-content>, 0.785\u20130.787%), dystonia (ICD<\/jats:styled-content>\u201010 code G24; prevalence, 0.61%; 95% CI<\/jats:styled-content>, 0.612\u20130.613%), secondary parkinsonism (ICD<\/jats:styled-content>\u201010 code G21; prevalence, 0.56%; 95% CI<\/jats:styled-content>, 0.564\u20130.565%), Huntington's disease (ICD<\/jats:styled-content>\u201010 code G10; prevalence, 0.09%; 95% CI<\/jats:styled-content>, 0.091\u20130.092%), and ataxia (ICD<\/jats:styled-content>\u201010 code R29; prevalence, 0.04%; 95% CI<\/jats:styled-content>, 0.0451\u20130.0456).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>Although the burden of MD<\/jats:styled-content>s is expected to increase, MD<\/jats:styled-content>s are likely underdiagnosed in rural areas.
