Abstract
The Authors report on 150 cases of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. The patients represent 8.3% of total parkinsonian patients and are selected on the basis of clinical and laboratory criteria that allow the diagnosis of "angiopathic parkinsonism" as an autonomous entity. Cerebral blood flow alterations in Parkinson's disease and associated dementing symptoms are also discussed. In conclusion, the Authors emphasize the usefulness of recognizing the "angiopathic parkinsonism" in view of therapeutical implications.
