Sleep Disorders in Atypical Parkinsonism [PDF]
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, 2014 AbstractSleep disorders are commonly observed in atypical parkinsonism, with particular disorders occurring more frequently in specific parkinsonian disorders. Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a synucleinopathy often associated with nocturnal stridor, which is a serious, but treatable, condition highly specific to MSA.

New insights into atypical parkinsonism [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2011 Atypical parkinsonian disorders (APDs) comprise a heterogenous group of disorders including multiple system atrophy (MSA), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). Based on literature published in 2010, we here review recent advances in the APD field.Genome-wide association studies have ...
