Computed tomography in Pick's disease.
Pick's disease is a rare cause of dementia. We studied two clinical cases of Pick's disease in its early stage. A computed tomography (CT) demonstrated lobar atrophy affecting primarily the anterior portions of the frontal lobes and the inferior portions of the temporal lobes. The fact that the characteristic pattern of lobar atrophy is already apparent in the early stage of the disease was demonstrated.
