Abstract

Overlap between neurodegenerative disorders is not rare. A 72-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with resting tremor and bradykinesia which had occurred 6 months ago. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s dementia 4 years ago. F-18 florbetaben positron emission tomography (PET) revealed diffuse florbetaben uptake and F-18 FP-CIT PET showed decreased striatal dopamine transporter uptake. Herein, we report a patient having both Alzheimer’s dementia and Parkinson’s disease at the same time.
