Abstract:
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease. The etiology and pathogenesis are still unclear. Nowadays there is a lack of an effective molecular marker which can effectively assist the early diagnosis and prognosis of this disease. This article reviewed the pathological anatomy, diagnostic criteria, subtypes and clinical manifestations, imaging studies, scales evaluation, treat-ment and rehabilitation, complications and risk factors of PSP. Patients with PSP should be managed by a multidisciplinary team. The man-agement of PSP should include the rehabilitation of disorder and palliative treatment, as well as support and education, to improve the quali-ty of life for patients and their caregivers.
