How is corticobasal degeneration diagnosed?

To make a diagnosis, your healthcare provider will conduct a physical exam. They carefully evaluate your symptoms. While this condition happens due to a gene change, no genetic test can detect it or predict it.

You may also receive:

• Blood tests.
• Imaging scans such as MRIs or CT scans to look for diseased parts of your brain.
• Neuropsychological testing to assess brain function and memory.
• Cerebrospinal fluid tests to evaluate Alzheimer’s disease-related changes or autoimmune abnormalities.
