Distinguishing Primary Lateral Sclerosis from Parkinsonian Syndromes with the Help of Advanced Imaging

We describe a unique case of a patient presenting with unilateral mild paresis, slowing of the upper limb, and parkinsonism, who underwent a full imaging work-up including MRI, 123I-FP-CIT PET, 18F-FE-PE2I PET, and 18F-FDG PET. This case demonstrates that imaging may aid substantially in the diagnostic work-up of complex neurologic disorders.
