In 30 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) CT scan, isotopic cisternography and neuropsychological examination were performed to test possible relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) turnover, intellectual impairment and brain atrophy. Pathological cisternography was found in one third of the patients and it was positively correlated with the Columbia Rating Scale. Cerebral atrophy on CT was found more frequently in patients with earlier onset of PD. Combined pathological pattern on CT scan and on cisternography was correlated with intellectual decline. We conclude from this study, that in PD intellectual deterioration and brain atrophy separately are not connected with abnormal CSF turnover.

D010300 Parkinson Disease A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.
