Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat
February 2018
Introduction: The incidence of corpus callosum infarction is low, and sudden cognitive dysfunction caused by corpus callosum infarction is very rare. We report two cases of acute corpus callosum infarction with sudden cognitive impairment, and the related basis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease are reviewed.
Cases Presentation: The two patients had sudden and severe memory impairment and spatial orientation disorder.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined the relationship between white matter changes and apathy in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, involving 39 participants split into those with and without apathy symptoms.
- Using diffusion tensor imaging, the research found that apathetic patients had lower fractional anisotropy (FA) values in specific brain regions compared to non-apathetic patients.
- The findings suggest that these white matter changes are linked to the severity of apathy, indicating that FA values could potentially serve as a marker to assess apathy in PD patients.
