Progressive Supranuclear Palsy $78.4 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) (or the Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome, after the Canadian physicians who described it in 1963) is a rare degenerative disease involving the gradual deterioration and death of selected areas of the brain. Males and females are affected approximately equally and there is no racial, geographical or occupational predilection. Approximately 6 people per 100,000 population have PSP. It has been described as a tauopathy. The initial symptom in two-thirds of cases is loss of balance, lunging forward when mobilizing, speed-walking, knocking into objects and people and falls. Other common early symptoms are changes in personality, general slowing of movement, and visual symptoms. Later symptoms and signs are dementia (typically including loss of inhibition and ability to organize information), slurring of speech, difficulty swallowing, and difficulty moving the eyes, particularly in the vertical direction. |
