Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is an uncommon, sporadic, neurodegenerative disorder of mid- to late-adult life.
We describe a further example of the pathologic heterogeneity of this condition.
A 71-year-old woman initially presented dysarthria, clumsiness, progressive asymmetric bradykinesia, and rigidity in left arm.
Rigidity gradually involved ipsilateral leg; postural instability with falls, blepharospasm, and dysphagia subsequently developed.
She has been previously diagnosed as unresponsive Parkinson's Disease.
At our clinical examination, she presented left upper-arm-fixed-dystonia, spasticity in left lower limb and pyramidal signs (Babinski and Hoffmann).
Brain MRI showed asymmetric cortical atrophy in the right frontotemporal cortex.
Neuropsychological examination showed an impairment in visuospatial functioning, frontal-executive dysfunction, and hemineglect.
This case demonstrates that association of asymmetrical focal cortical and subcortical features remains the clinical hallmark of this condition.
There are no absolute markers for the clinical diagnosis that is complicated by the variability of presentation involving also cognitive symptoms that are reviewed in the paper.
Despite the difficulty of diagnosing CBD, somatosensory evoked potentials, motor evoked potentials, long latency reflexes, and correlations between results on electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) provide further support for a CBD diagnosis.
These techniques are also used to identify neurophysiological correlates of the neurological signs of the disease.
