MRI showed ischemic lesions of the left hemisphere in a patient with a worsening language disturbance that by history could be caused either by ischemia or by a focal degenerative brain disorder. A positron emission tomography study indicated the presence of a degenerative disorder, the most common cause of which is tau-positive pathology.
