Co-occurrence of radiological features of progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration.

چکیده
We report an interesting case demonstrating co-occurrence of radiological features of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). The clinical features were typical of PSP but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed both typical brainstem changes of PSP and an atypical pattern of cortical atrophy. While the MRI had markers of CBD, the clinical features were not classical of CBD.

Neuropathological features of corticobasal degeneration presenting as corticobasal syndrome or Richardson syndrome.
Patients with corticobasal degeneration can present with several different clinical syndromes, making ante-mortem diagnosis a challenge. Corticobasal syndrome is the clinical phenotype originally described for corticobasal degeneration, characterized by asymmetric rigidity and apraxia, cortical sensory deficits, dystonia and myoclonus. Some patients do not develop these features, but instead ha...
متن کاملThe tau gene A0 polymorphism in progressive supranuclear palsy and related neurodegenerative diseases.
Progressive supranuclear palsy is characterised pathologically by the deposition of neurofibrillary tangles consisting of tau protein. Patients with the disease have been reported to have a more frequent occurrence of one allele of an intronic polymorphism of the tau gene. Other diseases which may involve tau deposition include frontotemporal dementia and corticobasal degeneration. This polymor...
متن کاملProton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging in progressive supranuclear palsy, Parkinson's disease and corticobasal degeneration.
We used proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (1H-MRSI) to assess the in vivo cortical and subcortical neuronal involvement in progressive supranuclear palsy, Parkinson's disease and corticobasal degeneration. This technique permitted the simultaneous measurement of compounds containing N-acetylaspartate (NA), choline (Cho), creatine-phosphocreatine (Cre) and lactate, from four 15-mm ...
متن کاملThe Clinical Overlap between the Corticobasal Degeneration Syndrome and Other Diseases of the Frontotemporal Spectrum: Three Case Reports
The corticobasal degeneration syndrome has been suggested to be part of a complex of conditions (including the different subtypes of frontotemporal dementia and progressive supranuclear palsy), which reflect a spectrum of pathological substrates. This concept is supported by the frequent clinical overlap that can be observed among patients diagnosed with these conditions. We report three clinic...
متن کاملAnalysis of PITX3 gene in patients with multisystem atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration.
Interactions of transcriptions factors Nurr1, Pitx3, and EN1 are involved in the maturation and survival of adult midbrain dopaminergic neurons during a lifetime. The aim of the study was to evaluate the presence of mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms in PITX3 gene in clinically diagnosed multisystem atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal degeneration (C...
