    Multi-infarct (MI) states were found in 32.8% of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) patients, with similar clinical features to idiopathic PSP. This contrasts with Parkinson's disease, where stroke evidence was much lower.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroscience
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disorder.
    • Distinguishing PSP from other parkinsonian syndromes can be challenging.
    • The role of vascular factors in PSP etiology is not fully understood.

    Observation:

    • This study investigated the prevalence of multi-infarct (MI) states in patients diagnosed with PSP.
    • Clinical presentations of PSP with MI were compared to those without.
    • Prevalence of stroke evidence in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients was also assessed for comparison.

    Findings:

    • A significant proportion (32.8%) of PSP patients exhibited evidence of multi-infarct states.
    • Clinical symptoms in PSP patients with MI states were largely indistinguishable from idiopathic PSP.

  • Evidence of stroke was found in only 5.9% of Parkinson's disease patients.

    • Implications:

    • Vascular contributions, specifically multi-infarct states, may be more common in PSP than previously recognized.
    • The overlap in clinical features suggests that vascular factors can mimic or contribute to PSP presentation.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the interplay between vascular pathology and neurodegeneration in PSP.
