Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurodegenerative Diseases

Background:

  • Cortico-basal ganglionic degeneration (CBGD) is a rare, underdiagnosed neurodegenerative disorder.
  • Characterized by asymmetric motor and cognitive deficits.

Observation:

  • Presents a case of a 71-year-old Brazilian male with a 3-year history of CBGD.
  • Symptoms include asymmetric ideomotor apraxia, gait apraxia, cortical sensory impairment, myoclonus, dystonia, and rigidity.
  • Preserved mental status and no family history of the condition.

Findings:

  • The case underscores the clinical presentation of CBGD.
  • Differential diagnosis of CBGD is discussed, emphasizing its distinct features.
  • Literature review highlights key clinical and pathological aspects of the disease.
