Callosal Disconnection and Interhemispheric Dysfunction in Corticobasal Syndrome

Disease Info
Alien limb phenomenonThe affected hand appears to act independently of the patient's will, with involuntary grasping, manipulation, or avoidance behaviors[^3]
Impaired bimanual coordinationInability to coordinate purposeful movements between the two hands, despite intact individual limb function
Callosal apraxiaSpecific deficits in executing learned motor sequences when using the contralesional hand to command from the ipsilesional side
Tactile agnosiaInability to recognize familiar objects by touch despite intact primary somatosensory function
AstereognosisLoss of stereognosis—identifying objects by their weight, texture, and three-dimensional properties
Graphesthesia impairmentInability to recognize letters or numbers drawn on the skin
Callosal thinningParticularly in the anterior and midbody regions, with mean thickness reduction of 30-40% compared to healthy controls
Hyperintense signalFocal T2 hyperintensity within the callosal body reflecting vacuolation and demyelination
"Hot cross bun" signMay be present in CBS with pontine involvement, though more characteristic of multiple system atrophy[^4]
Reduced fractional anisotropyIndicative of disrupted fiber integrity within callosal pathways
Increased mean diffusivityReflecting axonal loss and vacuolation
Reduced streamline countDemonstrating loss of transcallosal fiber bundles
