“…One noteworthy observation is that delusions and hallucinations are very rarely observed in PSP patients. 42 , 43 This observation is in contrast to the high rate of hallucinations and delusions observed in synucleinopathies such as LBD, PD, and PD-dementia. 21 The absence of visual hallucinations may thus serve as a useful diagnostic marker in uncertain cases that supports a diagnosis of PSP.…”

“…When pathologically confirmed cases of PSP were compared with clinically misdiagnosed PSP cases with other pathologies, 42 psychosis was found to be the only behavioral abnormality that was less frequent in the pathologically confirmed PSP cases (18% vs 41%, P <0.01). Papapetropolous and Mash (2005) 43 reported that only two of the 22 pathologically confirmed PSP patients displayed visual hallucinations during the disease course. Similar data emerged from a large, retrospective multicenter study based on a pathologically confirmed diagnosis, in which only ten of the 100 PSP patients had visual hallucinations during the disease course.…”

Multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are the most common atypical parkinsonisms. These disorders are characterized by varying combinations of autonomic, cerebellar and pyramidal system, and cognitive dysfunctions. In this paper, we reviewed the evidence available on the presence and type of neuropsychiatric disturbances in MSA, PSP, and CBD. A MedLine, Excerpta Medica, PsycLit, PsycInfo, and Index Medicus search was performed to identify all articles published on this topic between 1965 and 2018. Neuropsychiatric disturbances including depression, anxiety, agitation, and behavioral abnormalities have been frequently described in these disorders, with depression as the most frequent disturbance. MSA patients show a higher frequency of depressive disorders when compared to healthy controls. An increased frequency of anxiety disorders has also been reported in some patients, and no studies have investigated apathy. PSP patients may have depression, apathy, disinhibition, and to a lesser extent, anxiety and agitation. In CBD, neuropsychiatric disorders are similar to those present in PSP. Hallucinations and delusions are rarely reported in these disorders. Neuropsychiatric symptoms in MSA, PSP, and CBD do not appear to be related to the severity of motor dysfunction and are one of the main factors that determine a low quality of life. The results suggest that neuropsychiatric disturbances should always be assessed in patients with atypical parkinsonisms.

“…Visual and auditory hallucinations, as well as paranoid delusions, bizarre delusions, and an unusual schizophrenia‐like syndrome, have all been described . In some cases, auditory hallucinations occurred during DRT; however, they were not considered related to treatment given that they persisted after l ‐dopa discontinuation or, in other cases, hallucinations remitted spontaneously, before discontinuation of therapy . Unlike classical PSP, in the Guadeloupean population of PSP‐like parkinsonism, visual and auditory hallucinations unrelated to DRT have been reported in 59% of cases, some of them with comorbid delusions …”

Background Background: Psychotic symptoms, such as delusions and hallucinations, are part of the clinical picture of several conditions presenting movement disorders. Phenomenology and epidemiology of psychosis in Parkinson's disease have received wide attention; however, the presence of psychosis in other movement disorders is, comparatively, less well known. Objectives Objectives: To review psychotic symptoms present in different movement disorders. Methods Methods: A comprehensive and structured literature search was performed to identify and analyze data on patients with movement disorders and comorbid psychosis.
