Summary

This paper defines the association between cerebrovascular disease and parkinsonism, and presents the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of Vascular Parkinsonism (VaP). VaP is a major cause of morbidity in the elderly, associated with falls, hip fractures, and cognitive impairment, and is particularly related to small vessel disease. Levodopa therapy may be considered for patients with VaP, but the dose and effect may differ from those in Parkinson's disease patients.
