Clinically undetected motor neuron disease in pathologically proven frontotemporal lobar degeneration with motor neuron disease.
BACKGROUND Frontotemporal lobar degeneration with motor neuron disease (FTLD-MND) is a pathological entity characterized by motor neuron degeneration and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. The ability to detect the clinical signs of dementia and motor neuron disease in pathologically confirmed FTLD-MND has not been assessed. OBJECTIVES To determine if all cases of pathologically confirmed FTL...
متن کاملRapidly progressive atypical parkinsonism associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration and motor neuron disease.
OBJECTIVE To report the rare but distinct clinical and neuropathological phenotype of non-familial, rapidly progressive parkinsonism and dementia associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration with motor neuron disease (FTLD-MND). METHODS Subjects included two 70-year-old women presenting with rapidly progressive severe postural instability, axial-predominant parkinsonism, oculomotor dysfu...
متن کاملMotor neuron disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration: a tale of two disorders linked to TDP-43.
Motor neuron disease (MND) is a neurodegenerative condition long thought to be associated only with motor weakness. Recent work now shows that cognitive difficulties are present in up to half of the patients with this disorder. About 5-10% of patients with MND have a frank dementia that resembles frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Imaging studies show quantitative abnormalities that rese...
متن کاملCorticospinal tract degeneration in motor neuron disease.
Long-repetition-time spin-echo MR images showed symmetric hyperintensity of the intracerebral corticospinal tracts in two patients with clinical and neurophysiologic diagnosis of primary lateral sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In both, axial low-flip-angle gradient-echo images of the cervical spine showed hyperintensity of the lateral columns of the cord consistent with antegrade d...
متن کاملPredicting survival in frontotemporal dementia with motor neuron disease.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether clinical and demographic features are associated with prognosis in patients with frontotemporal dementia and motor neuron disease (FTD-MND). METHODS This was a case series of FTD-MND categorized according to behavioral- or language-dominant symptoms at presentation and throughout the disease course. Demographic, clinical, imaging, and survival data were analyzed...
