Abstract
AbstractA case of progressive supranuclear palsy in a 69‐year‐old female is reported. Initially the patient presented to the pscyhiatric services with prominent paranoid delusions. Later, when dementia became more evident, neurological examination revealed typical features of progressive supranuclear palsy, including complete failure of upward gaze, facial bradykinesia, slow gait and bilateral cogwheel rigidity. During hospitalization, the patient's condition improved and she was discharged to an ordinary residential home for the elderly.This unusual presentation of dementia demonstrates, once again, the importance of a full neurological examination in all cases of dementia.
