摘要

Background: Transcranial B-mode sonography (TCS) has become an important tool in the differential diagnosis of parkinsonism given that current technology enables an adequate assessment of brain structures. In this study we aimed at evaluating the usefulness of midbrain area measured by TCS in the differential diagnosis between Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of PD or PSP according to current clinical criteria were recruited. PSP patients were classified as Richardson's syndrome and PSP-parkinsonism. TCS was performed and the mesencephalic area and third ventricle width were measured offline by an examiner blinded to clinical diagnosis. Results: TCS was performed in 60 patients (75% PD, 25% PSP). Eight patients (13,3%) had inadequate acoustic window. Patients with PSP had a smaller mesencephalic area (3.58cm2 vs 5.28cm2, p0.001). A mesencephalic area ≥4.27cm2 discriminates PD from PSP with a positive predictive value 100%. Patients with PSP also had a higher third ventricle diameter (8.84mm vs 5.11mm, p0.001). Within the PSP group patients with Richardson's syndrome had a wider third ventricle than patients with PSP-Parkinsonism phenotype (9.57mm vs 7mm, p=0.01), but no differences were found in the mesencephalic area between both phenotypes. Conclusions: Measurement of the mesencephalic area and the third ventricle width by TCS is a non-invasive, easily accessible technique that is useful in the differential diagnosis between PD and PSP, at least in the late stages of the disease.
