A 60 years old diabetic male hailing from Baridhara,Dhaka got admitted in BIRDEM General Hospital under department of Neurology, on 04.05.14 with the complaints of :
• Difficulty in walking for 1 year• Slurring of speech for 10 months
▫

According to the statement of the patient, he was reasonably well 1 year back. Then he developed walking difficulty which was progressive, associated with problems with maintaining balance & recurrent history of fall. It was not associated with low back pain, tingling of feet, incontinence of urine, head injury, fever, weight loss.

H/O Present illness
He also gave history of slurring of speech for 10 months which was progressive, monotonous, hypophonic, indistinct. He had difficulty in pronouncing consonants but no fatigability, swallowing difficulty was present. On detailed query, he gave history of memory disturbance, behavioral problems, insomnia, clumsiness & impaired hand writing.

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)
![Page 34: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Progressive supranuclear palsy
• Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), also known as Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome, is a neurodegenerative disease that affects cognition, eye movements, and posture.
• It was first described as a clinicopathologic entity in 1964.
![Page 35: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Pathologically, PSP is defined by the accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Different rates, localizations, and patterns of the accumulation of phosphorylated tau protein may account for the variation in clinical phenomena seen in patients with PSP.
![Page 36: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Pathology
Bilateral loss of neurons and gliosis in the periaqueductal gray matter, superior colliculus, subthalamic nucleus, red nucleus, pallidum, dentate nucleus, and pretectal and vestibular nuclei, and to some extent in the oculomotor nucleus.
![Page 37: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Etiology
The cause of PSP remains unknown. Most cases appear to be sporadic. Both environmental and genetic influences have been postulated.
![Page 38: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
HistoryThe cardinal manifestations:• Supranuclear ophthalmoplegia• Pseudobulbar palsy• Prominent neck dystonia• Parkinsonism• Behavioral, cognitive, and gait disturbances that
cause imbalance• Frequent falls/impaired postural reflexes
![Page 39: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
History
• Focal or segmental dystonia in the form of limb dystonia or blepharospasm
• Micturition disturbances, including urinary incontinence
• Progressive apraxia of speech, nonfluent aphasia, or a combination thereof
• Photophobia
![Page 40: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Physical examination• Poor postural reflexes, axial rigidity greater than
appendicular rigidity, and dysarthria• Absence of cogwheeling or tremor• Widely based and unstable gait• Bradykinesia with masked facies and a startled
expression• Retrocollis may be present
![Page 41: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Visual signs
• Supranuclear ophthalmoplegia • Downgaze typically involved
before upgaze• Impairment of convergence eye
movements• Eyelid retraction, eyelid opening
or closing apraxia, blepharospasm, or lid lag
![Page 42: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Diagnostic Considerations
The diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is clinical. The key features typically develop over time; although the full-blown picture may be relatively easy to recognize, the early or restricted cases are much more challenging.
![Page 43: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Diagnostic aids
Atrophy of the dorsal mesencephalon (superior colliculi, red nuclei) giving rise to a "mouse ears"
![Page 44: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Diagnostic aids
CSF contains both extended and truncated tau forms, and the truncated-to-extended ratio is significantly lower in PSP than in other neurodegenerative disorders
![Page 45: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Management
• Treatment of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is challenging at best.
• No medication is effective• Dopamine agonists,
tricyclic antidepressants, may provide modest symptomatic improvement.
![Page 46: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Management
• Only a few patients respond to dopaminergic or anticholinergic drugs, and responses often are short-lived and incomplete.
• Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may ameliorate motor symptoms in some patients with PSP.
![Page 47: Progressive supranuclear palsy presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/55d04116bb61eb47688b4621/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Management
• Rehabilitation• Treatment of the sleep
difficulties• Observing the decline of
these patients and the limitations of treatment is a frustrating ordeal for all involved.
