Eye of the tiger- rare form of parkinson's disease?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Eye of the tiger: the eye of the tiger is a term for a finding on MRI of the brain. It is related to an illness that is similar to Parkinsons, which tends to affect young men. It is not Parkinsons however. For this condition you may wish to ask for someone to evaluate your MRI films carefully to confirm this finding.

Parkinsonian features are present in this disorder. Hallervorden Spatz Disease now known as Pantothenate Kinase Associated Neurodegeneration is rare, and most patients show a mutation in PANK2 gene. A specialist in Movement Disorders is best
