Reversible drug-induced progressive supranuclear palsy-like presentation: A report of three cases
Drugs, such as dopamine receptor blockers or dopamine depleters, produce a functional dopamine-deficient state mimicking parkinsonism, but presentation with a progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare manifestation. We report three patients with a PSP-like presentation, with symmetrical parkins...
