Parálisis Supranuclear Progresiva: una enfermedad silenciada = Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: a silenced disease
Abstract
Resumen: La Parálisis Supranuclear Progresiva es una enfermedad neurodegenerativa, perteneciente al espectro de trastornos parkinsonianos (por tanto es un tipo de parkinsonismo), que no está lo suficientemente visibilizada y para la que, a día de hoy, por desgracia, no existe cura. Descrita en 1972 por Steele, Richardson y Olszewski, se caracteriza por la muerte progresiva de diferentes zonas del cerebro. Los propósitos de este artículo son: dar a conocer esta problemática, relativamente desconocida, mostrar su invisibilidad en los medios y en la sociedad para hacerla más visible, y servir como homenaje a una persona fallecida, a causa de PSP, en el segundo aniversario de su muerte.
Palabras clave: medicina, enfermedades raras, parkinsonismo, PSP.
