Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patients diagnosed with PD or VP, and healthy controls will be included in the study.
- PD diagnosis will be based on the Queen Square Brain Bank for Neurological Disorders clinical criteria and MDS criteria.
- The VP patients will be included if they fulfill the following criteria (Zijlman's diagnostic criteria)Parkinsonism presentation (at least two of the cardinal features: tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity and postural instability).
- Cerebrovascular disease, defined as evidence of relevant cerebrovascular disease by brain imaging or the presence of focal signs or symptoms consistent with stroke.
- A relationship between (1) and (2): acute or delayed progressive onset of parkinsonism.
- Based on the above criteria, two forms of VP are suggested: one with acute onset, and another one with insidious progression. The diagnosis will be confirmed by assigning a vascular score. Two points or more are essential to diagnose VP. The points will be assigned as follows:
- Two points: Pathologically or angiographically proven diffuse vascular disease.
- One point: Onset of parkinsonism within 1 month of clinical stroke.
- One point: History of two or more strokes.
- One point: Neuroimaging evidence of vascular disease in two or more vascular territories.
- One point: History of two or more risk factors for stroke (hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia, presence of heart disease associated with stroke \[coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, valvular heart disease, mitral valve prolapse, and other arrhythmias\], family history of stroke, history of gout, and peripheral vascular disease)
Exclusion
- PD patients with age at onset less than 40 years.
- Any alternative cause that significantly impair gait.
- Inability of the patient to undergo neuroimaging.
- Patients couldn't perform the test or severely demented.
- Atypical and other secondary parkinsonism as patients who had a history of toxin exposure.or antipsychotic drugs treatment by history ,neurological examination and brain MRI .
- Family or patient's refusal to give written consent.
