Only 62 patients (69%) had clinically definite SROS based on the criteria of Maher and Lees, and neurofibillary degeneration of subcortical structures with involvement of the internal pallidum, the subthalamic nucleus, and substantia nigra was considered essential for the pathological diagnosis.

Natural history of progressive supranuclear palsy (Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome) and clinical predictors of survival: a clinicopathological study.

Progressive onset of early postural instability with falls or supranuclear vertical palsy in the fifth decade, should suggest the diagnosis of PSP and appropriate treatment of the dysphagia needs to be explored.

Clinical heterogeneity in progressive supranuclear palsy: Problems of clinical diagnostic criteria of NINDS‐SPSP in a retrospective study of seven Japanese autopsy cases

It is demonstrated that the clinical features of PSP may change dramatically according to the disease stage and target symptoms should be selected based on time and stage to optimize patient quality of life.

Clinical and neuropathologic features of progressive supranuclear palsy with severe pallido-nigro-luysial degeneration and axonal dystrophy.

Clinical and pathological findings suggest that PSP-PNLA should be considered a variant of PSP, with earlier gait abnormalities and difficulty with handwriting, but later falls, rigidity and dysphagia than PSP.

Progressive supranuclear palsy: a clinicopathological study of 21 cases

The presence, at the time of death, of symptoms and signs that are used in published clinical criteria for the diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy was searched for in typical PSP cases.

Accuracy of clinical diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy

Although application of National Institute of Neurological Disorders and the Society for PSP possible category marginally improved the accuracy of initial clinical diagnosis, none of the existing operational criteria could significantly improve accuracy of the final clinical diagnosis.

Clinical research criteria for the diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome)

Criteria that support the diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy, and that exclude diseases often confused with PSP, are presented.

Clinical and Genetic Aspects of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is, after Parkinson's disease, the most common form of degenerative parkinsonism. Several clinical features are used in the recognition of this disorder as well…

Structural basis of dementia in neurodegenerative disorders

While in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mental decline is mainly related to synaptic and neuritic pathologies, other degenerative disorders show variable substrates of dementia involving different cortical and/or subcortical circuits which may or may not be superimposed by cortical Alzheimer lesions.

Progressive supranuclear palsy diagnosis and confounding features: Report on 16 autopsied cases

Sixteen autopsy‐verified progressive supranuclear palsy cases received levodopa, amantadine, anticholinergics, dopamine agonists, and selegiline in different combinations with symptomatic benefit with minimal benefit and in general the benefit was minimal and occurred only early in the course of illness.
