Dudley Moore’s symptoms of progressive supranuclear palsy

Date November 19, 1999
Posted by BSN Support Staff

On November 19, 1999, actor Dudley Moore was interviewed by Barbara Walter on ABC’s 20/20.  The focus of the interview was Dudley Moore’s symptoms of progressive supranuclear palsy.  Someone recently re-posted the 20/20 interview to YouTube:

Did You Know?

“Fluctuating cognition” is when there are unpredictable changes in someone’s level of cognition and attention.  This symptom is common in Lewy body dementia.  Some families describe it as the person seems normal one minute and then something is clearly wrong the next.  This is different from sundowning, which occurs predictably when the sun goes down.  Learn more about LBD.

The term “multiple system atrophy” was introduced in 1996. The term unified olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA) and Shy-Drager Syndrome (SDS). OPCA cases were first described about 100 years ago. SDS was first described in 1960.

Almost 25% of those who were thought to have Parkinson’s Disease have been found, upon autopsy, to have an alternative diagnosis. The most common alternative diagnosis is an atypical parkinsonism disorder.

Brain autopsy is the only way to confirm a diagnosis of any neurological disease. Over 50% of diagnoses of atypical parkinsonian disorders by neurologists are wrong.   Learn more.

About 17 percent of those with Lewy body dementia may experience Capgras syndrome. This is a belief that a friend or family member is an imposter.
