內容簡介
The diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease relies on a thorough medical history and a detailed neurological examination. For this clinical diagnosis, a special emphasis should be made in ruling out atypical symptoms or signs that suggest alternative disorders. When an atypical parkinsonism is suspected, ancillary tests can be used to exclude or confirm it. Additionally, dopamine markers are commonly used to detect the characteristic nigrostriatal impairment found in Parkinson’s disease. Recently, in addition to these more “traditional” diagnostic procedures, new technologies have been opening a new era that will shortly revolutionize the diagnosis and management of Parkinson’s disease.
