Abstract
Background and purpose: Performing the differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple-system atrophy of parkinsonian type (MSA-P) is challenging. The oculomotor performances of patients with PD and MSA-P were investigated to explore their potential role as a biomarker for this differentiation.
Methods: Reflexive saccades and smooth pursuit were examined in 56 patients with PD and 34 with MSA-P in the off-medication state.
Results: Patients with PD and MSA-P had similar oculomotor abnormalities of prolonged and hypometric reflexive saccades. The incidence rates of decreased reflexive saccadic velocity and saccadic smooth pursuit were significantly higher in MSA-P than in PD (p<0.05 for both). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that slowed reflexive saccades (odds ratio [OR]=8.14, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.45-45.5) and saccadic smooth pursuit (OR=5.27, 95% CI=1.24-22.43) were significantly related to MSA-P.
Conclusions: The distinctive oculomotor abnormalities of saccadic smooth pursuit and slowed reflexive saccades in MSA-P may serve as useful biomarkers for discriminating MSA-P from PD.
期刊介绍:
The JCN aims to publish the cutting-edge research from around the world. The JCN covers clinical and translational research for physicians and researchers in the field of neurology. Encompassing the entire neurological diseases, our main focus is on the common disorders including stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson''s disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis, headache, and peripheral neuropathy. Any authors affiliated with an accredited biomedical institution may submit manuscripts of original articles, review articles, and letters to the editor. The JCN will allow clinical neurologists to enrich their knowledge of patient management, education, and clinical or experimental research, and hence their professionalism.
