Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with parkinsonism – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/385820621

There are rare reports of patients presenting with features of both ALS and Parkinsonism, with symptoms of both diseases occurring concurrently in a number of cases. Neuropathological studies in these patients have identified changes within the substantia nigra and gobus pallidus along with more typical corticospinal tract degeneration.
