Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Synonyms


Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, balance, and cognition. It is often referred to by several other names, which are synonymous with PSP. These synonyms include:



  • Steele-Richardson-Olszewski Syndrome (SRO): This name is derived from the three doctors who first described the condition in 1963 - Dr. John Steele, Dr. John Richardson, and Dr. Jerzy Olszewski.

  • Richardson's Syndrome: Named after Dr. John Richardson, this term is commonly used to describe the classic form of PSP characterized by postural instability, supranuclear gaze palsy, and cognitive impairments.

  • Parkinsonism-PSP: This term is used to highlight the parkinsonian features that can be present in PSP, such as bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity, and tremors.

  • PSP-Parkinsonism: Similar to the previous synonym, this term emphasizes the overlap between PSP and Parkinson's disease, as both conditions share some clinical features.

  • Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation 4 (NBIA4): This name is used to describe a specific subtype of PSP that is associated with abnormal iron accumulation in the brain.

  • Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD): Although PSP and CBD are distinct disorders, they share some clinical and pathological features. Therefore, CBD is sometimes used as a synonym for PSP.


It is important to note that while these terms are used interchangeably with PSP, they may have slightly different connotations or emphasize specific aspects of the disorder. However, they all refer to the same underlying condition characterized by progressive deterioration of motor and cognitive functions.
