Brain Perfusion in Corticobasal Syndrome with Progressive Aphasia
BACKGROUND Brain perfusion may differ between patients with corticobasal syndrome (CBS) with and without aphasia. METHODS Twenty-six (9 males and 17 females; mean age 76 ± 5.3 years) patients with CBS were enrolled in the study. Brain MRI and single-photon emission computed tomography were performed in all subjects. Language was evaluated using the Standard Language Test of Aphasia. The patie...
متن کاملRapidly Progressive Corticobasal Degeneration Syndrome
INTRODUCTION Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) has a heterogeneous clinical presentation with no specific pathologic substratum. Its accurate diagnosis is a challenge for neurologists; in order to establish CBS definitively, postmortem confirmation is required. Some clinical and radiological features can help to distinguish it from other neurodegenerative conditions, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease...
متن کاملPrimary progressive aphasia as the initial manifestation of corticobasal degeneration. A "three in one " syndrome?
In 1994, the term "Pick complex" was proposed to indicate significant clinical and pathological overlapping between primary progressive aphasia, frontal lobe dementia and corticobasal degeneration. We report the case of a 60-year-old man, who initially presented progressive non-fluent aphasia with orofacial apraxia, and subsequently, over a period of 3 years, developed mutism, pathological laug...
متن کاملCorticobasal syndrome and primary progressive aphasia as manifestations of LRRK2 gene mutations.
BACKGROUND Mutations in the LRRK2 gene are an important cause of familial and nonfamilial parkinsonism. Despite pleomorphic pathology, LRRK2 mutations are believed to manifest clinically as typical Parkinson disease (PD). However, most genetic screens have been limited to PD clinic populations. OBJECTIVE To clinically characterize LRRK2 mutations in cases recruited from a spectrum of neurodeg...
متن کاملProgressive hemiparesis (Mills syndrome) with aphasia in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
The onset of motor symptoms in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is strikingly focal. In three-quarters of cases, weakness emerges unilaterally in one limb, typically spreading contiguously over months to become bilateral.(1) An extremely rare clinical syndrome of upper motor neuron-predominant, progressive hemiparesis was first described by American neurologist Charles Karsner Mills (1845-19...
