[Alien limb behavior associated with Alzheimer's disease].
A 48-year-old female developed apraxia, followed by aphasia and dementia. Clinical examination also showed an alien member sign, supranuclear gaze paresis, myoclonus and rigidity on the right arm. The examination of the frontal lobe biopsy showed typical lesions of Alzheimer's disease as the only neuropathological abnormality. The association of this clinical syndrome with Alzheimer's pathology is unusual.
