Parkinsonian-pyramidal syndrome

What it is

Parkinsonian-pyramidal syndrome is a rare, genetic, neurological disorder characterized by the association of both parkinsonian (i.e. bradykinesia, rigidity and/or rest tremor) and pyramidal (i.e. increased reflexes, extensor plantar reflexes, pyramidal weakness or spasticity) manifestations, which vary according to the underlying associated disease (e.g. neurodegenerative disease, inborn errors of metabolism).

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.

Benefit programs to look at

Programs whose eligibility touches the same ICD-10 categories. Eligibility is decided by the administering agency, never by this page.
