To analyze the neuro-psychological performance of patients with Parkinson's, disease (PD), in comparison with a group of patients with frontal lobe lesions (FLL) and a control group.
Eighteen patients with PD, 10 patients with FLL and 10 controlls of similar age and scolarity were studied. Neuro-psychological evaluation included tests of the visuospatial, execution, attention and concentration, memory and language areas. The tests were classified in two categories: those requiring motor responses and those that do not.
Patients with PD and FLL had lower scores them the controls in the visuospatial, attention and concentration and language areas, with statistical significance in some cases. The differences with the controls persisted in some tests requiring and not requiring motor response.
Frontal lobes have an important role in the neuro-psychological profile of patients with PD. Cognitive deficits in these patients is unrelated to the motor impairment of the disease.
分析帕金森病(PD)患者的神经心理表现,并与一组额叶病变(FLL)患者和一个对照组进行比较。
研究了18例帕金森病患者、10例额叶病变患者以及10名年龄和受教育程度相似的对照者。神经心理评估包括视觉空间、执行、注意力和专注力、记忆及语言领域的测试。这些测试分为两类:需要运动反应的测试和不需要运动反应的测试。
帕金森病患者和额叶病变患者在视觉空间、注意力和专注力以及语言领域的得分低于对照组,在某些情况下具有统计学意义。在一些需要和不需要运动反应的测试中,与对照组的差异仍然存在。
额叶在帕金森病患者的神经心理特征中起重要作用。这些患者的认知缺陷与疾病的运动障碍无关。
