Long-repetition-time spin-echo MR images showed symmetric hyperintensity of the
intracerebral corticospinal tracts in two patients with clinical and neurophysiologic diagnosis …

A perusal of the roentgenologic literature has revealed that mention of atrophy of the spinal
cord has been made only by OD~ N (1953) and MURTAGH et coll.(1955). The former paper …

Background Slowly progressive asymmetric parkinsonism and cortical dysfunction clinically
characterize corticobasal syndrome (CBS). Various pathologic findings, including …

Corticobasal degeneration is a degenerative disease characterized by asymmetric brain
atrophy and clinically by asymmetric onset of an akinetic‐rigid syndrome with apraxia …

We describe MR findings in patients with a clinical diagnosis of corticobasal degeneration
(CBD). Five patients with different extrapyramidal symptoms were submitted to MRI. All …

Another potential pitfall on MR is that the pulse sequence is not optimal for the detection of
the pathology because different pulse sequences may provide different levels of conspicuity …

This report concerns serial brain computed tomography (CT) images in two patients with
corticobasal degeneration (CBD). The diagnosis of CBD was confirmed by …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Several studies have questioned the traditional belief that
the corticospinal tract (CST) arises exclusively from the precentral gyrus and passes through …
