The relationship between soccer and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is not well established. We report clinicopathological correlations in an 83-year-old retired center-back soccer player, with no history of concussion, manifesting typical Alzheimer-type dementia. Examination revealed mixed pathology including widespread CTE, moderate Alzheimer's disease, hippocampal sclerosis, and TDP-43 proteinopathy. This case adds to a few CTE cases described in soccer players. Furthermore, it corroborates that CTE may present clinically as typical Alzheimer-type dementia. Further studies investigating the extent to which soccer is a risk for CTE are needed.
足球与慢性创伤性脑病(CTE)之间的关系尚未明确确立。我们报告了一名83岁退休中后卫足球运动员的临床病理相关性,该运动员无脑震荡病史,表现为典型的阿尔茨海默病型痴呆。检查发现混合性病理改变,包括广泛的CTE、中度阿尔茨海默病、海马硬化和TDP-43蛋白病。该病例补充了已报道的少数足球运动员CTE病例。此外,它证实了CTE在临床上可能表现为典型的阿尔茨海默病型痴呆。需要进一步研究以调查足球运动导致CTE的风险程度。
