Before revision: Multiple system atrophy – levodopa resistance, rapidly progressive, autonomic failure, stridor, present Babinski sign, cerebellar ataxia, and specific MRI findings Progressive supranuclear palsy – levodopa resistance, restrictive vertical gaze, specific MRI findings, and early and different postural difficulties Other conditions that can have similar presentations to PD include: Arthritis Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease Depression Dystonia Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome Frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 Huntington's disease Idiopathic basal ganglia calcification Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation Normal-pressure hydrocephalus Obsessional slowness Psychogenic parkinsonism Wilson's disease Prevention Antioxidant compounds like urate may decrease risk of developing Parkinson's.
