AB  - We described the cases of two patients with dementia associated with motor neuron 
      disease, the former with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and the latter with 
      Alzheimer's disease (AD), studied by the Pittsburgh compound B-positron emission 
      tomography (PIB-PET). In the FTD patient, the PIB-PET revealed no amyloid 
      accumulation in the cortex, whilst in the AD patient showed amyloid accumulation 
      mainly in the frontal, parietal and lateral temporal lobes, besides the posterior 
      cingulate gyrus and the precuneus. Thus, PIB-PET might facilitate the 
      discrimination of different proteinopathies that cause neurodegenerative 
      diseases, as dementia associated with ALS.
