Atypical parkinsonism is a group of conditions that have similar symptoms to Parkinson’s disease, but don’t respond well to the same medications. People with atypical parkinsonism may also experience other symptoms that aren’t commonly seen with Parkinson’s disease.
Types of atypical parkinsonism include:
Corticobasal degeneration (CBD)
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)
Multiple system atrophy (MSA)
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)
For the best symptom management, it’s important to see a movement disorder specialist who can accurately diagnose your condition.
