Atypical Parkinsonian disorders are progressive neurodegenerative diseases characterized clinically by parkinsonism, associated with degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). Histological studies suggested that dopaminergic cell neurodegeneration pattern may differ between atypical Parkinsonian disorders and with Parkinson’s disease.
In this study, we aimed to quantify and compare SNc volume and signal intensity using neuromelanin-sensitive T1-weighted MRI between progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, corticobasal degeneration, dementia with Lewy body and sporadic Parkinson’s disease.
