Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Cerebellar Variant
نویسنده
چکیده
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is an atypical Parkinsonism noted for postural instability, early falls, and a supranuclear vertical gaze palsy. However, since its original description, several variants were described. One of the rarer variants is PSP-C, further adding to the diverse clinical. As a result, misdiagnosis of PSP-C as multiple system atrophy, or a spinocerebellar degeneration is not uncommon. Accurate antemortem diagnosis would prove invaluable not only for prognostic implications but also for development of potential treatments.

Progressive Supranuclear Gaze Palsy with Predominant Cerebellar Ataxia: A Case Series with Videos
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) with predominant cerebellar ataxia (PSP-C) is a rare phenotype of PSP. The clinical and radiological features of this disorder remain poorly characterized. Through a retrospective case series, we aim to characterize the clinical and radiological features of PSP-C. Four patients with PSP-C were identified: patients who presented with prominent cerebellar dysf...
متن کاملEvaluation of the brainstem with high-resolution CT in cerebellar atrophic processes.
The authors studied the usefulness of computed tomography (CT) for evaluation of the brainstem in cerebellar atrophic processes. Twenty adult subjects without posterior fossa lesion were used for normal CT measurements of the brainstem. The measured values with CT corresponded to those with pneumotomography. Also reviewed were 49 patients with cerebellar atrophy which included spinocerebellar d...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient measurements of the middle cerebellar peduncle differentiate the Parkinson variant of MSA from Parkinson's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy.
Clinical differentiation of parkinsonian syndromes such as the Parkinson variant of multiple system atrophy (MSA-P) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) from Parkinson's disease is difficult in the early stage of the disease. In order to identify objective markers for differential diagnosis, we studied these three groups of patients with diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI). Sixteen MSA-P patients,...
متن کاملStriopallidodentate Calcification and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy-Like Phenotype in a Patient with Idiopathic Hypoparathyroidism
We present a 77-year-old woman with levodopa-nonresponsive parkinsonism, dementia, and supranuclear gaze palsy on vertical and horizontal gaze. Laboratory findings were consistent with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, and brain computed tomography showed extensive bilateral calcifications of the basal ganglia, centrum semiovale, dentate nuclei, and cerebellar white matter. These results illustrat...
متن کاملUnusual phenotype of pathologically confirmed progressive supranuclear palsy with autonomic dysfunction and cerebellar ataxia
BACKGROUND Based on the results of recent multicenter clinical-pathological studies, it seems that the clinical heterogeneity of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is much broader than previously thought. We will report 2 cases of patients with unusual manifestation of pathologically confirmed PSP. METHODS Two female patients were diagnosed with the parkinsonian phenotype of multiple system...
