⭐️ Answer (clinical diagnosis): Corticobasal syndrome
🔷FDG PET showed R>L parietal hypometabolism
💡 I will share the frontal and temporal lobes given the C9ORF72 expansion (let me know what you think) followed by a general overview of corticobasal degeneration in 🧵👇
🔷IMO: Symmetric temporal lobe atrophy and perhaps caudate nuclei but frontal lobes look normal aside from the motor cortex
As we conclude 2025, I would like to express my sincere thanks to @TheASNR & @theASFNR 2025 AI workshop organizers for awarding me the travel grant, and to all the instructors who helped make my 2025 goals a reality @CoolAsANeuroRad @ecalabr

Sadly, today, we lost of one of our most talented & visionary Radiologists in #Tanzania, Dr. Mechris Mango @TaasisiyaMifupa. May he rest in peace.
Dr. Mango (R) nurtured both our @Road2IR Interventional Radiology & @RSNA GLC Neuroradiology Fellowships @MuhimbiliTaifa & @muhimbiliuniver from the very start! Many patients & young #Tanzanian Radiologists have benefited from his expertise & generosity. You will be dearly missed, brother.
Pumzika kwa Amani. #RIP
