Parkinsonism (also known as Parkinson's syndrome, atypical Parkinson's, or secondary Parkinson's) is a syndrome characterized by tremor, hypokinesia, rigidity, and postural instability.[1] While Parkinson's disease (PD) — a neurodegenerative condition — is the most common cause of parkinsonism, a number of other etiologies can lead to similar symptoms.[2]

The underlying causes of parkinsonism are numerous and diagnosis can be complex.[3] If PD has been excluded, the differential diagnosis or list of potential causes for this disease includes:
