Abstract
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a quite rare neurodegenerative disease that affects mainly the brain stem, basal ganglia, and cerebellum in the central nervous system. PSP is classified in the rubric of parkinsonism plus syndromes, which causes progressive degeneration in the midbrain areas those controls eye movements. PSP often goes under diagnosed, hence making it essential for physicians to be well-known of this disorder. We present a case of PSP of a 65- year-old female, which came primarily with reiterative falls due to postural instability and speech disturbances. Radiodiagnosis with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain diagnosed a classical sign of PSP.
