Fast Micrographia
Fast Micrographia
In "fast" micrographia, written letters are microscopic from the outset, sometimes approximating to a straight line, though produced at normal speed without fatigue. This pattern has been observed in progressive supranuclear palsy and with globus pallidus lesions, and contrasts with the "slow" micrographia, writing becoming progressively slower and smaller, seen in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease.
