Sagittal T1
Normal hippocampal volume. Mild frontal lobe atrophy, left more than right.
Case Discussion
Although the brain MRI is unremarkable, PET-CT was consistent with AD. Genetic mutational analysis showed heterozygous amyloid precursor protein (APP) and presenilin 2 (PSEN2) mutations, both of which have been linked to early onset Alzheimer's disease and FTLD.
