Abstract We decided to evaluate a patient who was diagnosed with cortical-basal ganglionic degeneration from a clinical, instrumental and neuropsychological perspective. Our aim was to employ a new instrumental tool, functional magnetic resonance, in order to evaluate his cortical damage. We then followed the pathological course for 1 year and tested the patient again: we discuss the results of our evaluation, having an overview of the literature on the topic. In particular, we focused our attention on his apraxia, trying to suggest a dynamic and anatomical model to guarantee a possible explanation of his behavior.
