The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is predominantly clinical, based on a combination of the cardinal features of tremor, bradykinesia and rigidity. The differential essentially lies between other conditions resulting in tremor, of which essential tremor is the commonest, and other akinetic-rigid syndromes. These include progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, toxins and other degenerative disorders, including diffuse Lewy body disease and corticobasal degeneration. The key clinical features of these disorders and a practical diagnostic approach are briefly reviewed in this article.

SynopsisMagnetic resonance imaging T1 values in Alzheimer's disease (ATD) were similar to age-matched controls although frontal T1 values tended to increase intraindividually with progression of the dementia. T1 values were raised, in both cortical grey and white matter, in Korsakoff's syndrome and multi-infarct dementia. T1 values appear of little value in studying the neuropathological changes in ATD in relationship to the neuropsychological deficits, but can assist in the differential diagnosis of pre-senile dementia.

Clinical Diagnoses

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the currently preferred term for a variety of clinical diagnoses that have risen to prominence during the last decade (McKeith et al., 1996). These include diffuse Lewy body disease, dementia associated with cortical Lewy bodies, the Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Hansen et al., 1990), senile dementia of the Lewy body type, and Lewy body dementia. Initially thought to be uncommon, DLB is now recognized as the second most common pathologic cause of dementia, accounting for up to 20% of all elderly cases reaching autopsy.
