Multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) show a high prevalence and rapid progression of dysphagia, which is associated with reduced survival.

We aimed to characterise the prevalence and outcomes of gastrostomy in patients with these three atypical parkinsonian disorders.
