Abstract

We report a 61-year-old woman with clinical course for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia and discordant amyloid-β positron-emission tomography (PET) and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed remarkable atrophy in the hippocampus. However, repeated delayed 18F-flutemetamol brain amyloid PET images with 1 year-interval revealed no amyloid deposition, whereas her CSF revealed low Aβ42, high total tau and p-tau181. This discordant amyloid-β PET and CSF biomarkers in this early-onset AD dementia might be associated with her low resilience or mixed pathology.
