| Background : Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is characterized by slowly progressive early onset dementia with cortical visual dysfunction and disproportionate atrophy of the posterior cortex. Case Report : A 55-year-old right-handed woman developed visuo-spatial impairments that progressed rapidly into cortical blindness over the following 3 months. Neuro-psychological evaluation revealed Gerstmann syndrome and severe constructional impairments with all components of Balint syndrome. However, her memory, insight, and judgment were preserved. Her brain MRI was normal. However, 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography revealed a marked hypometabolism in the bilateral parieto-occipital region. Conclusions : Although rapid progression of visuo-spatial dysfunction without memory impairment occurred, we considered PCA as well. |
