Popis: Abstract MDS‐criteria for clinical diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) were recently published, their usability in a classical clinical setting is yet unknown. We retrospectively applied the new criteria using PSP patients’ case files. Assignment of PSP diagnosis according to the MDS‐criteria was possible in 57/80 cases. The main difference to former specialist classification was a lower phenotype diversity and higher representation of PSP‐RS. Furthermore, we examined those patients’ brain MRIs. While neuroradiologists’ reports were suggestive of PSP only in 11/62, the analysis of a blinded rater revealed pathological midbrain‐to‐pons‐ratio in 40/62 implying this imaging feature is often missed.
