This is because the constellation of symptoms and problems experienced by affected individuals and their caregivers is unique. There have been significant advances in the understanding of CBD over the past 10 years, and as a result, improved counseling, support and symptomatic treatments are now available. We are actively involved in research to better understand the pathophysiology of CBD. demographics CBD typically occurs in patients between 45 and 70. In our experience, women are affected more commonly than men. Rarely, there is a family history of dementia, psychiatric problems or a movement disorder. presenting symptoms Patients with CBD present with either a movement disorder or cognitive deficits. As the disease progresses, most patients will eventually develop both types of symptoms, often with a delay of 2-3 years.

CONTACT US Corticobasalganglionic Degeneration 04 September 2002 What is corticobasal degeneration? Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a rare neurological disease in which parts of the brain deteriorate or degenerate. CBD is also known as corticobasal ganglionic degeneration, or CBGD. Several regions of the brain degenerate in CBD. The cortex, or outer layer of the brain, is severely affected, especially the fronto-parietal regions, located near the center-top of the head. Other, deeper brain regions are also affected, including parts of the basal ganglia, hence the name "corticobasal" degeneration. The combined loss of brain tissue in all these areas causes the symptoms and findings seen in people with CBD. What causes the degeneration of brain tissue in CBD? Unfortunately, the cause of CBD is entirely unknown. There is currently no strong evidence to suggest CBD is an inherited disease, and no other risk factors, such as toxins or infections, have been identified. Studies of brain tissue of individuals with CBD show certain characteristic cell changes. Similar, although not identical, changes are observed in two other neurodegenerative diseases, Pick's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy. These changes, involving a brain protein called tau, have provided researchers some initial clues in their search for the causes of CBD.

Corticobasal ganglionic degeneration (CBD) Timothy C. Hain, MD Chicago IL, USA. Please read our Return to Index Search this site Page last modified: January 20, 2004 Corticobasal ganglionic degeneration (which we will call CBD) is a rare progressive neurological disorder characterized by a combination of Parkinsonism and cortical dysfunction. It is a rare sporadic progressive disorder first reported in 1968. CBD appears to be closely related to another, less rare, sporadic extrapyramidal degenerative disorder named Progresive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) . In CBD, cognitive symptoms dominate, while in PSP, eye movement symptoms dominate the picture. The Parkinsonism is generally an asymetric akinetic rigid syndrome, unresponsive to levodopa, similar to that of multiple system atrophy and PSP . Eye movement abnormalities are common, as in PSP, and a supranuclear gaze palsy can be seen as in PSP. Given the genetic similarities between CBD and PSP, it seems possible that they are simply two "faces" of the same disease. Neuroradiological imaging studies in CBD demonstrate cortical atrophy, which may be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Other cortical signs include

Affected individuals may have sufficient muscle power for manual tasks but often have difficulty directing their movements appropriately. Initial symptoms typically appear in people during the sixth decade, and may include poor coordination, difficulty accomplishing goal-directed tasks (e.g., buttoning a shirt), and/or difficulty pantomiming actions. Symptoms usually begin on one side of the body (unilateral), but both sides may be affected as the disease progresses. Cognitive impairment (e.g., memory loss) and/or visual-spatial impairments may also occur. The exact cause of corticobasal degeneration is unknown.

It is an heterogeneous disease (i.e. composed of different elements), and is characterised by a combination of cognitive impairment and movement disorder. In a review by Rinne in 1994 the authors found only 40 cases. However, CBD is difficult to diagnose. Studies have shown that a clinical diagnosis may be different from neuropathology, i.e. a diagnosis made after examining brain tissue damage which would be revealed at autopsy. Symptoms of the disease can be cognitive (relating to comprehension, judgement, memory and reason) or motor. A range of cognitive skills, including memory and concentration, are affected by CBD. Motor symptoms (problems with co-ordination of movement) are asymmetrical - i.e. they are on one side or the other. They are often described as a stiff hand or arm, or difficulty with writing. It is a difficult disease to diagnose with accuracy and so CBD is sometimes diagnosed as something else, most commonly Parkinson's disease, vascular dementia, Alzheimer's disease or Pick's disease.
