Differentiation of atypical Parkinson syndromes

Günter U Höglinger et al. J Neural Transm (Vienna). 2017 Aug.

Abstract

In distinction to idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), the diagnosis of atypical Parkinson syndromes comprises dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). We set out to write a state-of-the-art guideline as to which investigations and examinations help to differentiate PD vs. atypical Parkinson syndromes in clinical routine.

Keywords: Corticobasal degeneration; Dementia with Lewy bodies; Multiple system atrophy; Parkinson’s disease; Progressive supranuclear palsy.
