| Summary: |
Alzheimer disease is a
type of cerebral amyloidosis, which is most frequently
recognized after the age of 80. In pathophysiology of
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis and age-related cataract changes in
protein aggregation play important role, for that reason
they form common group of diseases, called
conformational diseases. Patients with Alzheimer disease
have more common pseudoexfoliation syndrom (PEX),
characterized by the accumulation of an abnormal
pathognomonic material in the anterior segment of the
eye. Regarding common feature of the structure of
fibrillar pseudoexfoliation and amyloid material, it is
considered that eye examination could be useful in the
early diagnosis of Alzheimer disease. |
