Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) are two classic clinical syndromes derived from 4 microtubule-binding domain-repeat tau pathology. However, their clinical diagnosis remains challenging due overlaps in their motor symptoms. While majority of previous studies have assessed brain volumes using cross-sectional data, the present study utilizes Subtype and Stage Inference (SuStaIn) for brain volumes based on cross-sectional brain structural magnetic resonance imaging to identify the differences in temporal brain atrophy progression patterns between CBS and PSP. Our results suggested the utility of SuStaIn for estimating brain atrophy progression patterns in and discriminating between patients with CBS and PSP.
