Here we report a case of Kii ALS/PDC predominantly presenting progressive parkinsonism. Tau positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with 18F-PM-PBB3 suggested tau deposition in the substantia nigra of the midbrain and subcortical areas, but not in the cerebral cortex, which was similar to progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), suggesting that parkinsonism-predominant type of Kii ALS/PDC may have a similar area of tau deposition to PSP.}, pages = {124--126}, title = {A case of Kii amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism dementia complex presenting as progressive parkinsonism with corresponding tau imaging}, volume = {9}, year = {2020} }
