Thalamic involvement determined using VSRAD advance on MRI and easy Z-score analysis of 99mTc-ECD-SPECT in Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome with P102L mutation
چکیده انگلیسی
Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome caused by the P102L mutation in the prion protein gene (GSS102) is usually characterized by the onset of slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia, with dementia occurring much later. Because of the relatively long disease course and the prominence of progressive cerebellar ataxia in the early stage, GSS102 is often misdiagnosed as other neurodegenerative disorders. We present two cases of genetically proven GSS102L, both of which present with atrophy and decreased blood flow of the thalamus as determined by voxel-based specific regional analysis system for Alzheimer's disease (VSRAD) advance software and easy Z-score analysis for 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer-SPECT, respectively. These thalamic abnormalities have not been fully evaluated to date, and detecting them might be useful for differentiating GSS102 from other neurodegenerative disorders.
