Atypical Parkinsonian Syndromes: Structural, Functional, and Molecular Imaging Features

Atypical parkinsonian syndromes, also known as Parkinson-plus syndromes, are a heterogeneous group of movement disorders, including dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), multisystem atrophy (MSA), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). This review highlights the characteristic structural, functional, and molecular imaging features of these complex disorders. DLB typically demonstrates parieto-occipital hypometabolism with involvement of the cuneus on FDG-PET, whereas dopaminergic imaging, such as [
