Cortical cerebral atrophy
Posterior cortical atrophy
Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), also called Benson's syndrome, is most usually considered to be an atypical variant of Alzheimer’s disease. The disease causes shrinkage of the back part of the brain. It is a clinical syndrome in which complex visual processing is progressively disrupted owing to a neurodegenerative disorder. PCA was first described by Franck Benson in 1988. Despite being caused by the same disease process, the effects of posterior cortical atrophy and typical Alzheimer’s disease upon the behaviour, thought processes and skills of individuals with each condition are very different...
