Evaluation of Early Brain Changes in Corticobasal Ganglionic Degeneration R. E. Wilson, S. Bums, R. M. Kdem, K. Shannon, and W. 0. Whetsell, Jr, Nashville, T N Corticobasal ganglionic degeneration (CBGD) is a neurode- generative disease that presents with asymmetrical akinesia, rigidity, and apraxia. Postmortem examination (8 reported cases) typically reveals widespread cortical neuronal dropout as well as involvement of the basal ganglion. We present the case of a 64-year-old woman with a I-year history of im- paired right-hand dexterity following 8 years of left-hand dystonia. Her memory and verbal skills were normal. She had ideational apraxia and left cortical sensory loss. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed atrophy of the right sen- sorimotor cortex and symmetrical enlargement of the third and lateral ventricles. Positron emission tomography (PET) scan showed glucose hypometabolism in the atrophic cortex, but the reduction was more extensive than indicated by MRI. The right basal ganghon was hypometabolic but the basal ganglia were anatomically symmetrical. A right frontal brain biopsy was normal. Baclofen mildly reduced left arm tone. This is the first report of brain biopsy in a patient with clinically diagnosed CBGD. In this case cerebral histological findings were normal even though clinical symptoms and glucose uptake indicate functional abnormality. The func- tional cortical alteration that precedes detectable morpholog- ical change may give rise to subcortical changes as a conse- quence of altered corticobasal ganglionic projections.
