HIV-associated dementia and caudate atrophy.
A 36 year old male presented with progressive dementia of two months duration and was found to have predominant extrapyramidal features in the form of rigidity and bradykinesia. There were no tremors or choreoathetotic movements. MRI of the brain (Fig. 1) revealed diffuse cortical atrophy with bilateral caudate atrophy. CSF studies were normal and serology for Toxoplasma and Cytomegalovirus wer...
متن کاملProgressive hemifacial atrophy with agenesis of the head of the caudate nucleus.
We describe a woman with right hemifacial atrophy, a high palate, partial left motor seizures, and mild atrophy of the left arm. CT scan showed asymmetrical lateral ventricles and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) showed atrophy of the right cerebral hemisphere and agenesis of the head of the right caudate nucleus. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Parry-Romberg syndrome associated w...
متن کاملCaudate nucleus atrophy in Huntington's disease and its relationship with clinical and genetic parameters.
We analysed clinical data in 80 genetically confirmed Huntington?s disease (HD) patients and measured the severity of the head of the caudate nucleus (HCN) atrophy using computed tomography-guided planimetry. The results were compared with measurements obtained in 43 age-matched healthy subjects. Mean planimetric measurements of the HCN differed significantly between the HD patients and healthy...
متن کاملMetabolic Recovery in Caudate Nucleus
I n 3 children who had undergone cerebral hemispherectomy (hemidecortication) between the ages of 1 year 5 months and 4 years for the alleviation of intractable epilepsy, cerebral glucose utilization was studied serially with positron emission tomography. Three to 7 months after hemispherectomy, glucose utilization i n the caudate nuclei on the side of hemispherectomy had decreased to below pre...
متن کاملCaudate nucleus volumes in frontotemporal lobar degeneration: differential atrophy in subtypes.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Frontostriatal circuits involving the caudate nucleus have been implicated in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). We assessed caudate nucleus volumetrics in FTLD and subtypes: frontotemporal dementia (FTD, n = 12), semantic dementia (SD, n = 13), and progressive nonfluent aphasia (PNFA, n = 9) in comparison with healthy controls (n = 27) and subjects with Alzheimer ...
