Abstract
The various associations of motor and non-motor symptoms, the onset of motor complications, the cognitive disorder's appearance and other factors make Parkinson's disease (PD) a heterogeneous syndrome with multiple phenotypes. The necessity of discriminating between different forms of PD could have a role in understanding the pathophysiology of extrapyramidal signs with clinical implications. The aim of this study was to evaluate if there is a relationship between the clinical motor phenotypes of PD and the scintigraphic pattern of 123I-FP-CIT single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).File in questo prodotto:
