☆ Is Parkinson’s disease the same thing as Parkinson’s syndrome? Parkinson’s disease is different from Parkinson’s syndrome. Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system that occurs in middle-aged and older adults and is characterized by a decrease in dopamine in the striatal-nigrostriatal system of the brain. Parkinson’s syndrome, on the other hand, is a group of diseases with extrapyramidal symptoms caused by drug toxicity, metabolism, hypoxia, and other primary etiologies. ☆ What is the difference between the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and Parkinson’s syndrome? Parkinson’s disease usually starts from one side of the limb, with motor symptoms such as clumsiness, muscle tone, resting tremor and postural abnormalities, and bilateral limb asymmetry, more levodopa response is good. While Parkinson’s syndrome is often cranial MRI can be found in the primary disease foci, the examination of other parts of the central nervous system involved signs such as the pyramidal fasciculus sign (+) ☆ How to differentiate between the two diseases in the examination and diagnosis? The asymmetry of onset and signs, the presence of cranial nerve damage such as abnormal eye movement and pathological signs, and the presence of abnormalities on cranial MRI. ☆ Can both be treated with dopamine drugs Patients with Parkinson’s syndrome are mostly ineffective on levodopa complexes. ☆ Does Parkinson’s syndrome disappear when the primary disease is cured and symptoms such as tremor disappear?
