Part 1 Parkinson's disease - parkinson's disease, Matthew B. Stern, William C. Koller. Part 2 Multiple system atrophies - striatonigral degeneration, Akiyo Aotsuka, George W. Paulson; olivopontocerebellar atrophy, Margery H. Mark, Jacob I. Sage; multiple system atrophy associated with progressive autonomic failure - the shy-drager syndrome- a new classification scheme, Enrico Fazzini. Part 3 Symptomatic Parkinsonism - vascular parkinsonism, Howard I. Hurtig; posttraumatic Hubble;
Providing discussions of all syndromes in which parkinsonism may be a feature, this reference refines nosologic conceptions of parkinsonism, elucidates its cause, and points the way toward future investigative strategies.;Detailing the progress made by clinical neurologists in understanding and managing movement disorders Parkinsonian Syndromes: examines multiple system atrophies, including striatonigral degeneration, olivopontocerebellar atrophy, and shy-drager syndrome; reviews symptomatic parkinsonisms due to structural or vascular alterations, drugs, toxins, and metabolic changes; covers hereditofamilial disorders with parkinsonism; encompasses neurodegenerative syndromes that can not be otherwise classified according to overlapping pathology, mode of inheritance, or etiology; describes several miscellaneous conditions such as hemiatrophy-hemiparkinsonism and basal ganglionic calcifications with parkinsonism; and explores parkinsonism as it relates to the aging process.;Written by over 30 renowned clinical investigators with special expertise in parkinsonisms, Parkinsonian Syndromes is a resource for neurologists, neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, physical therapists, general medicine clinicians, internists, and medical students in these disciplines.
