Previously described cases showed hypertrophic olivary degeneration with tau\u2010positive neuronal inclusions, although differences were noted in tau isoforms and the presence of additional neurodegenerative pathology. We report an additional autopsy case with morphological similarities in pathology but without tau inclusions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To describe clinically, radiologically and neuropathologically a case of PAPT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Retrospective clinical data collection from electronic records, authorized video material and postmortem neuropathology study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 74\u2010year\u2010old women presented with a gait ataxia and parkinsonism at the age 67, followed three years later by rhythmic chin and palatal tremor. Probable REM sleep behavior disorder was reported approximately ten years before symptom onset. MRI demonstrated bilateral T2\/T2\u2010FLAIR hyperintensity and enlargement of the inferior olivary nuclei. The clinical progression was dominated by the ataxia, and the tremor remained throughout the disease course. Neuropathological findings showed hypertrophic olivary degeneration with glomeruloid bodies, without tau pathology and occasional neuronal and dendritic p62 immunoreactivity. Focal neuronal loss and gliosis were observed in cerebellar dentate nucleus. There was substantia nigra neuronal loss with Lewy pathology in neocortical stage (Braak stage 5), but without involvement of inferior olivary nucleus or cerebellum.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings confirmed hypertrophic olivary degeneration as the pathologic substrate of PAPT.
