Charcot and vascular Parkinsonism.

چکیده
Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893), recognized as the founder of Neurology and the first formal teacher of nervous system diseases, died on August 16, 1893, from acute pulmonary edema secondary to myocardial infarction. In his last years, there were several descriptions of his gait and posture disorders, suggesting the diagnosis of "lower-half parkinsonism" due to cerebrovascular disease.

متن کاملVascular parkinsonism--an important cause of parkinsonism in older people.
Parkinsonism due to cerebrovascular disease (vascular parkinsonism, VP) is a distinct clinicopathological entity. It accounts for 4.4-12% of all cases of parkinsonism.
