Neurodegenerative diseases is a big part of neuropathology.
Overview
They are essentially progressive and selective neuron loss. Clinically, they are not unique. They are defined by molecular pathology.[1]
Molecular schema of neurodegenerative disorders:[1]
| Neurodegenerative disorders | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Amyloidoses | Tauopathies | α-synucleinopathies | TDP-43 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Common diseases
- Alzheimer disease (Abeta).
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (PrP).
Taupathies:
- Progressive supranuclear palsy.
- Pick's disease.
Synucleinopathies:
- Parkinson disease.
- Dementia with Lewy bodies.
- Multiple system atrophy.
TDP-43 proteinopathies:
- Amyotrophic alteral sclerosis.
- Frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitinated inclusions.

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:[3]
- 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.[4]
- Alpha-synuclein is implicated in a number of neurodegenerative diseases.[5]
Progressive supranuclear palsy
General
Microscopic
- Globose neurofibrillary tangles in neurons.
- Coiled bodies in oligodendrocytes.
Huntington disease
General
- Autosomal dominant inheritance.
- Mutation: unstable CAG repeat.[8]
Gross
- Missing caudate.[9]
