Neurodegenerative diseases is a big part of neuropathology.
General DDx of dementia
- Alzheimer's dementia.
- Vascular.
- Multi-infarct dementia.
- Parkinson's associated dementia.
- Lewy body dementia.
- Alcohol-related dementia.
- Fronto-temporal dementia (Pick disease).
- Multisystem atrophy.
Mnemonic VITAMIN D VEST:[1]
- Vitamin deficiency (B12, folate, thiamine).
- Infection (HIV).
- Trauma.
- Anoxia.
- Metabolic (Diabetes).
- Intracranial tumour.
- Normal pressure hydrocephalus.
- Degenerative (Alzheimer's, Huntington's, CJD).
- Vascular.
- Endocrine.
- Space occupying lesion (chronic subdural hematoma).
- Toxins (alcohol).
Lewy body dementia
- Parkinsonian features.
- Hallucinations (visual).
- Progressive cog. decline with fluctuations.
Multiple system atrophy
- Alpha-synuclein-rich glial cytoplasmic inclusions - finding at autopsy.[2]
- Alpha-synuclein is implicated in a number of neurodegenerative diseases.[3]
Progressive supranuclear palsy
General
Microscopic
Features:
Huntington disease
General
- Autosomal dominant inheritance.
- Mutation: unstable CAG repeat.[6]
Gross
- Missing caudate.[7]
