Distinguishing progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) from other parkinsonian syndromes may be difficult, especially in the early stages of disease. Based on neuropathological criteria, some patients with PSP disease are misdiagnosed. 1 Characteristic eye movement abnormalities may be missed or delayed until late in the course of PSP. 2 Therefore, there is a need to identify additional clinical signs that may aid early, reliable diagnosis. The goal of this study was to determine the frequency of three clinical signs in patients with classic PSP or Parkinson’s disease (PD). We used currently accepted, clinical criteria to diagnose PSP3 and PD. 4 Patients were diagnosed before entry into the study by a movement disorders specialist. Other neurologists, who were not informed of the diagnosis beforehand, conducted the study tests. We studied 12 patients (7 male) with PSP; their ages ranged from 68 to 80 years (median 75), duration of diagnosed illness ranged from 1 month to 11 years (median 4 years), and educational level ranged from 8 to 20 years (median 16). We also studied 28 patients (15 male) with PD; their ages ranged from 47 to 80 years (median 70), duration of illness ranged from 4 months to 20 years (median 6), and educational level ranged from 8 to 20 years (median 15). There were no significant differences in the duration of illness or educational level between PSP and PD patients.We attempted to evaluate three clinical tests on all patients, although a few patients were unable to cooperate for some tests. The first consisted of attempting to induce a blink response by flashing a pen light repetitively into one open eye at 1–2 Hz. An abnormal response was defined as lack of habituation (continued blinking) after more than seven consecutive flash stimuli. The second test consisted of unidirectional rotation in an office chair for 45 seconds; an abnormal response consisted of a sustained head deviation. 5 For the third test, patients were requested to clap
