Abstract
The neuropathology of parkinsonism is reviewed as it occurs in primary (idiopathic) and secondary extrapyramidal syndromes. Present understa nding of the significance of Lewy bodies in Parkinson's disease, diffu se Lewy body disease, and Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease is emphasized. The neuropathology produced by a variety of secondary caus es is also considered to demonstrate the diverse lesions that can resu lt in parkinsonism. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
