Article Synopsis
- Corticobasal syndrome is usually linked to common conditions like corticobasal degeneration and Alzheimer's, but this case highlights a rare cause.
- A 78-year-old woman initially diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease developed symptoms that led to a revised diagnosis of probable corticobasal syndrome after an MRI showed specific brain atrophy.
- After her death, post-mortem findings confirmed Pick's disease, demonstrating that it can mimic corticobasal syndrome symptoms, which is important for differential diagnosis.
