What are Parkinson-plus syndromes?

Parkinson-plus syndromes are a group of neurological conditions that are similar to Parkinson's disease but have unique features. These syndromes can be hard to diagnose because the symptoms are like those of other conditions.

The most common types of Parkinson-plus syndromes are progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), multiple system atrophy (MSA), cortical-basal ganglionic degeneration (CBGD), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
