Overview

Description

Relevant neuroanatomy and imaging techniques introduce idiopathic Parkinson's disease and atypical Parkinsonian syndromes. Characteristic findings in hereditary and metabolic disorders, including Huntington's and Wilson's disease, extend the differential diagnosis.

Learning Objectives

Relate movement-disorder neuroanatomy to structural and functional imaging techniques.
Distinguish idiopathic Parkinson's disease from atypical Parkinsonian syndromes.
Recognise imaging patterns in selected hereditary and metabolic movement disorders.
