Overview

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are brain diseases that can cause changes to speech, balance, walking, swallowing, vision, cognition and autonomic functioning. They can also involve symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease including tremor, stiffness and slowness. Because of this, people may initially be diagnosed with Parkinson’s and you may hear PSP, CBD and MSA referred to as “atypical parkinsonism” syndromes. They are neurodegenerative, meaning that symptoms may change and worsen over time.
