Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: A Current Review The Neurologist 14:79-88, Lubarsky,M. &Juncos,J.L., 2008 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract It is clear that PSP continues to be an under-recognized disorder with multilevel involvement of the neuraxis that helps differentiate it from other akinetic rigid syndromes such as PD. A greater appreciation of its atypical presentations, more attention to its neurobehavioral signs and better imaging techniques are some of the advances that will help facilitate earlier detection, which may reduce morbidity by helping anticipate early falls and minimizing unnecessary diagnostic procedures. Surgical approaches to PSP have been ineffective so far. Carefully targeted symptomatic treatment with drugs and other therapies is available and effective at reducing morbidity and improving quality of life.
