Abstract | Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by deposition of fibrillar aggregates of 4R tau-protein in neurons and glial cells. This disorder is underdiagnosed due to the overlap of the clinical syndrome with other related conditions. The clinical manifestations include cognitive impairment associated with behavioral changes, akinetic rigid syndrome, and prominent oculomotor dysfunction. We present the F-FDG and F-THK5351 PET images of a 71-year-old man diagnosed of probable PSP. This image highlights the hopeful results of the new tau-PET ligands radiotracers, because it allows to assess the distribution of tau-protein over time, closely associated with neurodegeneration in PSP. |
