Abstract

We report on 189 patients who were evaluated for APS. Final diagnoses included 77 cases of PSP, 32 patients with MSA and 11 patients with CBS. 35 patients were diagnosed or confirmed with iPD, while in 26 cases a differentiation between iPD and APS could not be definitely made.

Keywords: Atypical parkinsonian syndromes; Corticobasal degeneration; Corticobasal syndrome; Multiple system atrophy; Progressive supranuclear palsy.
