Abstract: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), also known as Steel Richardson syndrome is a form of atypical Parkinsonism with readily distinguishable features from Parkinson's disease. It is a clinical diagnosis; imaging helps to differentiate mimics.1Non - pharmacological management of PSP is as important as pharmacological treatment and should be implemented early to empower patients and their families to make well - informed autonomous decisions about their care, aimed to preserve their quality oflife.
