Parkinsons Plus
  • By Glen Estrosos

Parkinsons Plus
  • Many neurological disorders share features of
    Parkinson's disease.
  • Parkinson's plus syndromes (PD Plus) include some
    signs of Parkinson's disease, as well as
    additional symptoms such as inappropriate eye
    movement control (progressive supranuclear
    palsy), autonomic dysfunction (multiple system
    atrophy), muscle weakness and atrophy, profound
    memory difficulties and behavioral disturbances,
    and others.

Under the Umbrella
Progressive supranuclear palsy
Corticobasal degeneration
  • Multiple system atrophy
  • Olivopontocerebellaratrophy
  • Dementia with Lewy bodies

5
Etiology / Pathophysiology
  • Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a
    neurodegenerative disease characterized by
    parkinsonism, cerebellar dysfunction, and
    autonomic disturbances.
  • Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare
    degenerative disorder that causes serious and
    permanent deficits in movement and cognitive
    function.

6
Etiology / Pathophysiology
  • Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a rare,
    progressive, neurodegenerative disease that
    causes movement disorders and dementia.
  • Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) exhibits clinical
    overlap between Alzheimer's disease and
    Parkinsons disease.
  • Olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA) is a group of
    disorders characterized by degeneration of three
    brain areas the inferior olives, the pons, and
    the cerebellum. OPCA causes increasingly severe
    ataxia (loss of coordination) as well as other
    symptoms.

  • It is said by neurologists that patients
    presenting with falls early in the course of a
    Parkinsonian illness are more likely to have a
    Parkinson-plus syndrome than idiopathic
    Parkinson's disease.
  • The Parkinson-plus syndromes are usually more
    rapidly progressive and less likely to respond to
    anti-parkinsonian medication than Parkinson's
    disease. However, the additional features of the
    diseases may respond to medications not used in
    Parkinson's disease.
