| Summary: | Aims: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) typically presents with a constellation of motor symptoms, most commonly with frequent falls and gait disturbances.

We report a case of a 70-year-old male referred to Consultation Liaison Psychiatry for inappropriate sexual behaviour on a background of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy with Predominant Cerebellar Ataxia. |
