Abstract
Objective: To determine the rates of cerebral atrophy and ventricular expansion in six patients with autopsy confirmed progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple antemortem volumetric head MRI scans. Methods: This study uses the boundary shift integral to determine rates of cerebral atrophy and ventricular expansion in six patients with pathologically confirmed PSP compared with six age- and sex-matched control subjects. Results: Patients with PSP had a rate of cerebral atrophy and ventricular expansion of 1.3 and 7.0% per year compared with 0.4 and 1.8% in control subjects. Interpretation: These rates provide a benchmark that can be used to monitor future treatment response in PSP.
