Abstract

These results indicate that olfactory function is differentially impaired or preserved in distinct parkinsonian syndromes and that it might also have some value as a diagnostic pointer. Thus, preserved or mildly impaired olfactory function in a parkinsonian patient is more likely to be related to atypical parkinsonism such as MSA, PSP or CBD, whereas markedly reduced olfaction is more suggestive of IPD.
