Abstract summary 

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) has many clinical features overlapping with other Parkinson syndromes and differentiation on clinical ground is difficult. This case highlights how a brain MRI can help diagnose PSP in settings with limited resources where histological diagnosis is difficult.Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) may be challenging to diagnose due to its widely acknowledged clinical complexity and challenges with diagnosis confirmation, particularly in resource-poor settings where the ability to obtain confirmatory tests is highly complicated, leading to an inaccurate or incomplete diagnosis of PSP. This paper discusses using brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose PSP, and a review of relevant literature addresses the diagnostic value of MRI in PSP.
