Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)

چکیده
Introduction: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder producing characteristic eye movement abnormalities in the classic presentation. The disease pathologically is marked by accumulation of abnormal tau proteins. There are useful MRI features, however the diagnosis remains clinical in the majority of cases, and no objective diagnostic test exists. Treatment at present is entirely supportive.

A progressive extrapyramidal syndrome and dementia occurred in three members of one family. The age of onset was in the seventh decade and the affected individuals showed many of the clinical features of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Necropsy of one individual revealed the neuropathological features of PSP. We propose that this family has a familial form of PSP and review the evidence i...

We report an interesting case demonstrating co-occurrence of radiological features of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). The clinical features were typical of PSP but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed both typical brainstem changes of PSP and an atypical pattern of cortical atrophy. While the MRI had markers of CBD, the clinical features were not cla...

متن کاملProgressive supranuclear palsy: what do we know about it?
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a progressive tauopathy characterized by supranuclear ophthalmoplegia, pseudobulbar palsy, dysarthria, axial rigidity, frontal lobe dysfunction, and dementia. The typical pathology includes neuronal loss, gliosis and microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT)-positive inclusions in neurons and glial cells, primarily in basal ganglia, brainstem and cerebell...
