"Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) represents the clinical syndrome that is diagnosed clinically, while corticobasal degeneration is only reserved for the subset of cases that are pathologically confirmed as the tauopathy 6. The corticobasal syndrome has causes in addition to corticobasal degeneration, including progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP-CBS), frontotemporal dementia, posterior cortical atrophy variant of Alzheimer disease, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease 7."
"There are no drug therapies available to modify the course of corticobasal degeneration. Treatment is often focused on symptomatic relief. Supportive services such as speech and occupational therapy should not be overlooked 5."
