Definition

Progressive bulbar palsy (PBP) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons in the brainstem, leading to progressive weakness and atrophy of the muscles involved in speech, swallowing, and breathing. This condition often overlaps with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) but primarily affects the bulbar muscles.
