Abstract
- A woman developed a slowly progressive speech disturbance at age 51. Three years latter she showed difficulty in calculation, reading and writing. At age 57, she complained of right shoulder pain. At age 58, neurological examination revealed rigidity, bradykinesia and ideomotor apraxia in the right upper extremity. This case demonstrats a clinical overlap between progressive nonfluent aphasia and corticobasal degeneration.
