Coritcobasal degeneratin (CBD) has various neurological findings, such as cortical sign, parkinsonism, supranuclear palsy, myoclonus, and dementia. This disease used to be rare, but 20 years later, many case have been reported. Corticobasal degeneration is investigated from a wide range of specific analyses. It presents with a clinical resemblance to progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and it is important to determine whether CBD and PSP are the same entity. I will attempt to review the difference and similarities between PSP and CBD from a clinical standpoint.
