摘要:
Corticobasal degeneration and Parkinson's disease are pathologically distinct disorders with unique histological and biochemical features of a tauopathy and alpha-synucleinopathy respectively. We report the first case of co-occurrence of these pathologies in the same patient. Convergence of such distinctly separate neuropathology in the same brain highlights the need for extensive brain banking and further research in supporting the hypothesis that tauopathies and alpha-synucleinopathies might share common pathogenic mechanisms.
