Posterior Cortical Atrophy
Abstract
Five patients had progressive dementia heralded by disorders of higher visual function. All eventually developed alexia, agraphia, visual agnosia, and components of Balint's, Gerstmann's, and transcortical sensory aphasia syndromes. Memory, insight, and judgment were relatively preserved until late in the course. Predominant parieto-occipital atrophy was demonstrated on both computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in two of the patients; posterior circulation was normal by angiography in the three studied. To date, no pathologic specimen is available for study; speculations on the underlying pathologic condition include an atypical clinical variant of Alzheimer's disease, a lobar atrophy analogous to Pick's disease, or some previously unrecognized entity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
