Clinical and neuropathological overlap of two or more neurodegenerative diseases (ND) is not an uncommon occurrence yet is still underdiagnosed in clinical neurological and neuropathological. The authors present a clinicopathological overview of the current understanding of overlapping ND's with the hope that this review will encourage further studies that are required to investigate the effect of such overlaps on clinical presentations and how often clinical presentations raise the suspicion of multiple ND's. The authors suggest that as more patients with overlapping ND's come to light, traditional classification system of ND's may need to be modified.
