Abstract

We present A 60-year-old woman with a 2-year history of progressive anterograde memory deficit, with a A 18F-FDG PET/CT and 11C-PIB PET/CT studies performed. In the follow-up she presented a typical corticobasal syndrome with extrapyramidal signs and left superior limb dystonia. These clinical and imaging features are consistent with a focal presentation of AD.
