White matter degeneration may contribute to clinical symptoms of parkinsonism. We used fixel-based analysis (FBA) to compare the extent and patterns of white matter degeneration in different parkinsonian syndromes-including idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). This is a retrospective interpretation of prospectively acquired data of patients recruited in previous studies during 2008 and 2019.
