Secondary symptoms of Parkinson's disease

summary

Secondary symptoms of Parkinson's disease? Secondary Parkinson's disease, also known as Parkinson's syndrome, accounts for 8% of PD. There are clear causes, such as encephalitis, stroke, drugs, metal and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Secondary symptoms of Parkinson's disease

First: Parkinson's disease caused by encephalitis, brain trauma, brain basal ganglia tumors and other reasons, known as Parkinson's syndrome.

Second: Vascular Parkinson's syndrome: because elderly patients often have different degrees of cerebral arteriosclerosis, brain stem and basal ganglia lacunar infarction can affect the function of dopamine system and lead to Parkinson's disease.

Third, Parkinson's syndrome accounts for 10% ～ 15% of PD, with typical symptoms of Parkinson's disease, accompanied by other nervous system diseases, such as multiple system atrophy, supranuclear paralysis and so on. It is very difficult to differentiate the early stage of Parkinson's superposition syndrome from primary Parkinson's disease. In addition to the similar manifestations of Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's superposition syndrome has some special manifestations that Parkinson's disease does not have. The disease progresses rapidly and is not sensitive to levodopa. CT, MRI and experimental treatment can help in the differential diagnosis.
