PurposeCorticobasal syndrome (CBS) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) both present with asymmetrical extrapyramidal symptoms, often leading to a diagnostic dilemma. Patients with CBS frequently show cerebral blood flow (CBF) asymmetry alongside asymmetrical cortical atrophy. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect CBF asymmetry in patients with CBS.MethodsWe retrospectively investigated asymmetries of regional CBF and cortical volume, measured using ASL and T1-weighted MRI, in 13 patients with CBS and 22 age-matched patients with PD. Regional CBF and cortical volume values were derived from nine brain regions on each side. CBF and volume asymmetries were calculated as %difference in each region, respectively.ResultsCBF asymmetry showed significantly greater differences in seven of nine regions, such as the perirolandic area (− 8.7% vs. − 1.4%,p< 0.001) and parietal cortex (− 9.7% vs. − 1.3%,p< 0.001) in patients with CBS compared with patients with PD. In contrast, significant differences in volume asymmetry were observed in three regions included within the seven regions showing CBF asymmetry, which indicated that CBF asymmetry has greater sensitivity than volume asymmetry to detect asymmetricity in CBS.ConclusionASL imaging showed significant CBF asymmetry in a wider range of brain regions in patients with CBS, which suggests that noninvasive MRI with ASL imaging is a promising tool for the diagnosis of CBS, with advantages that include the simultaneous evaluation of asymmetrical hypoperfusion in addition to focal atrophy.
