Overview
Differential Diagnosis
Parkinson disease must be differentiated from other diseases that can mimic this disease clinically or radiologically such as:
Essential tremor
Essential tremor is demonstrated by bilateral resting tremor of arms, head, chin and trunk. Tremor of PD is action tremor and it seems to be easy to differentiate it from resting tremor of ET but sometimes we can see resting tremor in PD patient and conversely action tremor in ET patients.
Scans without evidence of dopaminergic deficit (SWEDD)
Dementia with Lewy bodies
Multiple system atrophy
Corticobasal degeneration
Progressive supranuclear palsy
Idiopathic and familial basal ganglia calcification
Other neurodegenerative disorders
Secondary parkinsonism
- Vascular parkinsonism
- Drug-induced parkinsonism
