Describes the core clinical features of Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD) and its relationships to progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The article describes in detail the constellation of clinical features, termed as Corticobasal Syndrome. These are progressive asymmetrical rigidity and apraxia; alien limb phenomenon; cortical sensory loss; myoclonus; mirror movements; dystonia; tremor; lack of L-dopa response; dementia; neuropsychiatric features; ocular motor and apraxia. The article reviews the laboratory findings in the corticobasal syndrome, focusing on the neuropsychological, electrophysiological, structural neuroimaging and functional neuroimaging findings. Later, the article discusses the similarities between CBD and PSP which suggest that they may be the variants of the same pathophysiological process but points out that the differences in clinical presentations and pathological features of CBD and PSP warrant further study. The debate continues about whether CBD and PSP are variants of the same pathophyiological process and needs further clarification. Additional studies on the rare kindreds with the clinical features of the CBS and/or pathological features of CBD, whether associated with mutations in tau or not, may offer key insights.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
