MDS 2020 | The challenge of diagnosing heterogeneous movement disorders

Cynthia Comella, MD, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL, discusses the challenge of diagnosing movement disorders that are heterogeneous and where to direct investigation. Being able to distinguish dystonic tremor and essential tremor as well as different parkinsonisms is important for an accurate diagnosis. Therefore, education is paramount which can be achieved through congresses like the MDS Annual Congress. Prof. Comella also emphasizes the importance of continued research, which due to COVID-19 has been impaired. This interview was recorded during an online conference call with The Video Journal of Neurology (VJNeurology).
