- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 74-yr-old woman who was diagnosed with Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker (GSS) disease after undergoing a magnetic resonance imaging procedure. The diagnosis of atypical parkinsonism was first ruled out after the patient showed atypical clinical signs for Parkinson's disease (PD). The medical conditions detected upon the patient's hospital admission include blepharospasm, freezing of gait and cognitive impairment.
