DEMÊNCIA EM DOENÇA DO NEURÔNIO MOTOR: REVISÃO DO PAPEL DA RM NO DIAGNÓSTICO

As características clínicas sobreposta da doença do neurônio motor (DNM) e demência frontotemporal (DFT) compreendem um distinto ainda não totalmente compreendido, base neurológica síndrome de sobreposição clínico-patológico foi recentemente revisto. Aqui, apresentamos uma revisão das bases clínicas, patológicas e genética de DNM-DFT e o papel da ressonância magnética no diagnóstico STI. Ao fazê-lo, discutimos as técnicas atuais que retratam o envolvimento do trato corticoespinhal seletiva (TCS) e lobo temporal em DNM-DFT.

Palavras-chave:
demência frontotemporal; ressonância magnética; doença do neurônio motor; eslerose lateral amiotrófica; degeneração do lobo frontotemporal

Figure 1
A man of 42 years of age presented with UMN + LMN signs associated with dementia and language-speech abnormalities (his mother had died at 67 years old with a diagnosis of ALS-FTD). [A] Axial T1 MTC image showed an abnormally selective hyperintensity throughout the corticospinal tracts, predominantly on the left side, assuming a typical 'W-like appearance' crossing the corpus callosum (arrowheads). [B] Coronal FLAIR image depicted a marked atrophy in the left temporal pole with blurring of the grey/white matter differentiation (arrows). Note the abnormal hyperintensity in the left amygdala and hippocampus.

Figure 2
A man of 61 years of age presented with a history of progressive non-fluent aphasia in the four months prior to admission. This was followed by an asymmetrical flaccid tetraparesis, hyperreflexia in all four limbs, which was associated with a bilateral Hoffmann sign, and fasciculation. [A] Axial T1 MTC image showed an abnormal hyperintensity involving the cortical and subcortical frontal areas including pre-central gyri and the remaining subcortical regions of the frontal lobes. [B-C] Axial and coronal FLAIR images depicted left temporal lobe atrophy with blurring of the grey/white matter differentiation (arrows). [D] Brain macroscopy confirmed atrophy in the left temporal lobe (arrow). Left hippocampus cortex showed neuronal loss as well as cytoplasmic, nuclear and extracellular UI inclusions, in addition to neuronal loss and astrogliosis (not shown).

In general, the inclusions are ubiquitin-positive and contain the ubiquitin binding protein p62. (ALS: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis; FTD: Frontotemporal dementia; UMN: upper motor neuron; bvFTD= behavioural Frontotemporal dementia)

Table 2 Defining cognitive and behavioural subtypes in ALS.⁸³

ALS-FTD	ALS-bvFTD	ALS patient meeting either the Neary criteria or Hodge's criteria for FTD
