We describe two women presenting with cortico-basal syndrome (CBS) and upper motor neuron-motor neuron disease (UMN-MND), respectively, both with high-titre GAD-Abs in serum and CSF. Both patients showed progressive motor impairment with elevated NFL levels. IVIg therapy was administered without meaningful clinical benefit, suggesting neurodegeneration as the primary phenotypic driver.

Abstract

We describe two women presenting with cortico-basal syndrome (CBS) and upper motor neuron-motor neuron disease (UMN-MND), respectively, both with high-titre GAD-Abs in serum and CSF. Both patients showed progressive motor impairment with elevated NFL levels. IVIg therapy was administered without meaningful clinical benefit, suggesting neurodegeneration as the primary phenotypic driver.
