METHODS Twenty-four patients with PSP-P were enrolled in the current study. Patients were clinically followed up every 6 months until the appearance of VSGP or the end of the follow-up (4 years).

متن کاملProgressive supranuclear palsy: new disease or variant of postencephalitic parkinsonism?
We review the etiological importance of the epidemic encephalitis for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and addresses the question of whether the explosion of PSP literature in the mid-20th century reflects the appearance of a new disease. We examined 2,000 studies on Parkinson's disease from 1861 to 1963 and found PSP-like cases in the past, before the epidemic encephalitis era. It can be a...

متن کاملGuadeloupean parkinsonism: a cluster of progressive supranuclear palsy-like tauopathy.
An unusually high frequency of atypical Parkinson syndrome has been delineated over the last 5 years in the French West Indies. Postural instability with early falls, prominent frontal lobe dysfunction and pseudo-bulbar palsy were common and three-quarters of the patients were L-dopa unresponsive. One-third of all patients seen had probable progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). This new focus o...
متن کاملPossible clinical overlap between postencephalitic parkinsonism and progressive supranuclear palsy.
Two somatosensory projection areas, S I and S II, have been shown to exist in the brains of mammals of various species.3 S I, located in the postcentral gyrus, is especially concerned with the integration of sensory experience and with the discriminative qualities of sensation. S II has been mapped to the parietal operculum in many animal species,3 including humans.4 According to recent studies...
