A case of corticobasal degeneration presenting with alien limb syndrome.
Alien limb syndrome (ALS) is a very rare condition where the affected persons are not able to recognise the affected limb as their own, and regard it as being foreign or alien to them. We present a patient with ALS secondary to corticobasal degeneration, which is a rare neurodegenerative parkinsonian disorder. We discuss the clinical features, neuropathology and management of corticobasal degen...
متن کاملAlien Limb Syndrome Responsive to Amantadine in a Patient with Corticobasal Syndrome
BACKGROUND Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder associated with parkinsonism and alien limb syndrome. Dressing and ideomotor apraxia were reportedly responsive to amantadine. CASE REPORT A 79-year-old female was referred for evaluation of right hemiparesis. Neurological examination showed dementia, normal ocular movements, mild facial hypomimia, and bradykinesia...
متن کامل[Neuroimaging in corticobasal syndrome].
Recently, several attempts have been made to characterize the clinical symptoms and brain atrophy patterns in pathology-proven corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) with known histopathology. CBS is a term which was proposed to characterize the constellation of clinical features initially considered the defining characteristics of CBD. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) ana...

متن کاملWhite matter changes in corticobasal degeneration syndrome and correlation with limb apraxia.
BACKGROUND Data on white matter changes in corticobasal degeneration syndrome (CBDS) are not yet available, whereas cortical gray matter loss is a feature of this condition. The structural abnormalities related to a key feature of CBDS (limb apraxia) are unknown. OBJECTIVES To measure selective structural changes in early CBDS using diffusion tensor imaging and voxel-based morphometry and to ...
