Abstract: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is rarely confused with other parkinsonian disorders once the vertical gaze palsy appears. Corticobasal degeneration is the most common differential diagnostic entity. We describe three cases diagnosed during life as PSP but found to have another neurologic disorder at autopsy. No explanation for the gaze palsies was found in any case.
