Table 1.
Diagnosis | Patient | Age | Sites of brain lesion estimated from MRI | Other motor deficits | Duration |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
CBD | 1 | 60 | Mild left frontal cerebral atrophy, scattered lesions of left frontal, periventricular and pontine white matter | Mild disturbances in walking, right hand hemiparesis | 2 years |
2 | 68 | Left hemisphere cerebral atrophy, mostly involving left frontal lobe and mild atrophy of left temporal lobe | Right hand hemiparesis | 5 years | |
3 | 63 | Mild left frontal atrophy | Right arm hemiparesis | 4 years | |
Stroke | 1 | 55 | Ischemic stroke in left MCA distribution, involving left frontal lobe, inferior left parietal and temporal cortices, mildly affecting left insula and basal ganglia | Right arm hemiparesis | 5 years |
2 | 35 | Hemorrhagic stroke in left MCA distribution, involving frontal ventral white matter, temporal and parietal cortices, as well as basal ganglia | Right arm hemiparesis, shuffling gait, mild oral apraxia | 3 months |
Clinical profiles of the patients studied. Duration is the time interval from the clinical onset. MCA, middle cerebral artery.
