초록

파킨슨병은 노년층에 가장 흔한 퇴행성 뇌질환 중의 하나로 진행성핵상마비, 다중계 위축, 루이체 치매 등과 같은 비전형 파킨슨병과 임상적으로 감별이 어려울 수 있다. 파킨슨병과 비전형 파킨슨병의 감별은 치료방침 결정과 예후평가뿐만 아니라 파킨슨병의 원인과 병태생리를 연구하고 새로운 치료법 개발에 있어서도 매우 중요하다. 파킨슨병과 비전형 파킨슨병과 같이 파킨슨 증후군을 유발하는 질환은 선조체내 도파민 신경의 퇴행성 변화를 흔히 동반하지만 병태생리학적으로 서로 다른 뇌피질 및 피질하 구조물에서의 신경세포 소실을 동반하고 있다. 따라서 국소 시냅스 활성도와 신경 및 시냅스의 손상, 그리고 원발병변과 기능적으로 연결된 원격부위의 기능이상 등을 대변하는 뇌포도당 대사를 F-18FDG PET으로 평가하는 것은 파킨슨 병의 감별진단과 병태생리를 평가하는데 유용하다.

Parkinson's disease is one of the most frequent neurodegenerative diseases, which mainly affects the elderly. Parkinson's disease is often difficult to differentiate from atypical parkinson diorder such as progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy body, and corticobasal ganglionic degeneration, based on the clinical findings because of the similarity of phenotypes and lack of diagnostic markers. The accurate diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and atypical Parkinson disorders is not only important for deciding on treatment regimens and providing prognosis, but also it is critical for studies designed to investigate etiology and pathogenesis of parkinsonism and to develop new therapeutic strategies. Although degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopamine system results in marked loss of striatal dopamine content in most of the diseases causing parkinsonism, pathologic studies revealed different topographies of the neuronal cell loss in Parkisonism. Since the regional cerebral glucose metabolism is a marker of integrated local synaptic activity and as such is sensitive to both direct neuronal/synaptic damage and secondary functional disruption at synapses distant from the primary site of pathology, an assessment of the regional cerebral glucose metabolism with F-18 FDG PET is useful in the differential diagnosis of parkinsonism and evaluating the pathophysiology of parkisonism.
