Guadeloupean parkinsonism: a cluster of progressive supranuclear palsy-like tauopathy

Abstract

An unusually high frequency of atypical Parkinson syndrome has been delineated over the last 5 years in the French West Indies. Postural instability with early falls, prominent frontal lobe dysfunction and pseudo-bulbar palsy were common and three-quarters of the patients were L-dopa unresponsive. One-third of all patients seen had probable progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). This new focus of atypical parkinsonism is reminiscent of the one described in Guam and may be linked to exposure to tropical plants containing mitochondrial complex I inhibitors (quinolines, acetogenins, rotenoids). Two hundred and twenty consecutive patients with Parkinson's syndrome seen by the neurology service at Pointe à Pitre, Guadeloupe University Hospital were studied. Currently accepted operational clinical criteria for Parkinson's syndromes were applied. The pathological findings of three patients who came to autopsy are reported. Fifty-eight patients had probable PSP, 96 had undetermined parkinsonism and 50 had Parkinson's disease, 15 had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with parkinsonism and one had probable multiple system atrophy. All three PSP patients in whom post-mortem study was performed had early postural instability, gaze palsy and par...Continue Reading
