Abstract

Background Early reports suggested that corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a distinct clinicopathologic entity. Because patients have had a fairly consistent constellation of clinical and laboratory findings, many have proposed that the pathologic diagnosis can be surmised with confidence during life. Objective To analyze the pathologic findings in a large series of cases with clinically diagnosed CBD. Methods Using the medical research linkage system of the Mayo Clinic for the period January 1990 to December 1997, we identified cases diagnosed during life with CBD who subsequently underwent autopsy. All patients had progressive asymmetric rigidity and apraxia (except one with rigidity but no apraxia) with other findings, suggesting additional cortical and basal ganglionic dysfunction. All cases underwent standardized neuropathologic examination with the distribution and severity of the pathologic changes determined for each case and the pathologic diagnoses based on currently accepted criteria. Results Thirteen cases were identified. The pathologic diagnoses were CBD in seven, AD in two, and one each for progressive supranuclear palsy, Pick's disease, nonspecific degenerative changes, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Two cases had negligible basal ganglia and nigral degeneration despite previously having obvious extrapyramidal signs. However, all patients had focal or asymmetric cortical atrophy with coexisting neuronal loss and gliosis with or without status spongiosis, which…

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.
