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
