Objectives: To characterize the dementia associated with adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) and to correlate the cognitive deficits with abnormalities found on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: Quantitative neuropsychological testing and MRI in one man with APBD and a review of the literature.
Results: The dementia of APBD affects cortical and subcortical functions. The cognitive deficits correlate with MRI findings of cortical atrophy and white-matter abnormalities.
Conclusion: Neuropsychological testing and MRI are helpful in the evaluation of patients with APBD.
