Extract

It is generally agreed that the occurrence of marked clinical dementia and accompanying cortical pathological lesions is rare in cases of idiopathic paralysis agitans. Cases which show this association have been described by Jakob (1923), and by Critchley and Greenfield (1937.). The name “Jakob's disease “has been assigned to this clinico-anatomical syndrome by the latter authors. Our case is clinically a typical one of this syndrome, and possesses some unusual pathological features which make it worthy of record.
