Background Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) is a heterogeneous entity in terms of cognitive profiles and conversion to dementia. However, the risk factors for ongoing cognitive decline in patients with PD-MCI are not clearly defined.Methods 51 patients with PD-MCI were prospectively followed-up for a minimum of 2 years. Subjects were classified as MCI converters (n=15) or MCI non-converters (n=36) based on whether they were subsequently diagnosed with PD dementia. We explored cognitive profiles and neuroanatomical characteristics of PD-MCI converters using voxel based morphometry (VBM) of grey matter (GM) density and region of interest based volumetric analysis of the substantia innominata (SI).Results PD-MCI converters showed more severe cognitive deficits in frontal executive functions, immediate verbal memory and visual recognition memory compared with PD-MCI non-converters. VBM analysis revealed that PD-MCI converters had significantly lower GM density in the left prefrontal areas, left insular cortex and bilateral caudate nucleus compared with that in PD-MCI non-converters. The mean normalised SI volume was significantly smaller in both PD-MCI converters (1.19 +/- 0.35, p
