Progressive supranuclear palsy: A case report and brief review of the literature

Abstract Atypical Parkinsonian syndromes are a subset of progressive neurodegenerative disorders that present with signs of Parkinson’s disease. However, due to multisystem degeneration, the atypical Parkinsonian syndromes have additional symptoms that are often referred to as Parkinson-plus syndromes.
