Abstract:Of all the movement disorders, Huntington's disease has been most consistently associated with dementia, while it is only over the last decade that intellectual and cognitive decline have been recognized as common features of Parkinson's disease. It is now known that the pathology in these two conditions reflects differential involvement of the striatum. The Huntington lesion is primarily in the caudate, while the Parkinson lesion preferentially affects the putamen. Both conditions have more diffuse pathology, and dementia may also occur in a wide range of other extrapyramidal diseases, such as progressive supranuclear palsy, the parkinsonism-dementia complex of Guam, and certain spinocerebellar degenerations. Clinicopathological correlations will be reviewed in these disorders of primarily subcortical pathology, and comparisons will be made with Alzheimer's disease, a disorder of predominantly cortical pathology.
