title: [Differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease: current consensus criteria and outlook].
abstract: Parkinsonian-syndrome, clinically based on the combination of cardinal symptoms, could be the clinical manifestation of different, neuropathological defined entities. Because of the different prognostic, therapeutical and scientific implications a reliable differential diagnostic of the entities in early course of disease is desirable. For this purpose standardized clinical diagnostic criteria with sufficient validation against the gold standard of the neuropathological diagnostic are important. In this article, the clinical diagnostic criteria of atypical Parkinsonian-syndrome and their validity were discussed.
