Hypertension and progressive supranuclear palsy

Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2019
The epidemiologic evidence of whether hypertension is associated with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is inconsistent. The ENGENE-PSP case-control study determined various PSP risk factors including whether hypertension preceded PSP onset.Incident PSP cases per NINDS-PSP criteria and age-, sex-, race- matched controls were recruited from similar ...

Tremor in progressive supranuclear palsy

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1989
Reports of tremor in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) have been infrequent; some authors indicate that tremor is never seen in PSP. Five patients with PSP and tremor are presented. Our series of cases and those reviewed in the literature suggest that tremor occurs in 12-16% of PSP cases. The rest tremor observed in 3 of our cases differed from the "

Progressive supranuclear palsy: progression and survival

Journal of Neurology, 2015
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by postural instability and falls, vertical supranuclear gaze palsy, parkinsonism with poor levodopa response, pseudobulbar palsy, and frontal release signs.

The Epidemiology of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

2008
Publisher Summary This chapter describes that the incidence of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is approximately 1 per 100,000 and the prevalence is approximately 5 per 100,000. Most patients ascertained by such community-based surveys were not previously diagnosed as having PSP, testament to the low sensitivity to the diagnosis on the part of ...

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Archives of Neurology, 1995
In 1964, Steele, Richardson, and Olszewski defined a predominantly supranuclear multisystem degenerative disorder that has become known as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Considered rare, although not so, the disorder has been, and continues to be, misdiagnosed.
