Neuropsychiatric Manifestations in Atypical Parkinsonian Syndromes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of Movement Disorders

Abstract

Neuropsychiatric symptoms occur commonly in atypical parkinsonian disorders. While fluctuating cognition and visual hallucinations are characteristic for Lewy body dementia, insidious frontal lobe signs and subcortical dementia represent the core of neuropsychiatric manifestations in progressive supranuclear palsy. Apraxia is distinctive for corticobasal degeneration, while multiple system atrophy has been considered as disorder devoid of behavioral disturbances until recently. Growing body of evidence reveal the wide range of different cognitive, behavioral, and personality disturbances evolving in each atypical parkinsonism, allowing certain distinctions among disorders despite many overlapping symptoms. Better recognition of neuropsychiatric symptoms is important in terms of developing more effective treatment strategies.
