My Illness: CBD
Definition
Corticalbasal degeneration (CBD) is a rare, progressive, neurodegenerative disease that causes movement disorders and dementia.
Description
CBD occurs when brain cells in two areas of the brain - the cortex and the basal ganglia - die off. The cause of this neurodegeneration is unknown. CBD is also called corticobasal degeneration, cortical basal degeneration, corticalbasal syndrome (CBS) or corticobasal ganglionic degeneration (CBGD).
