Neurologist Jules Montague and William Miller continue their journey through the world of rare dementias. In this episode, they meet Susan and her husband Terry. Susan has posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), a rare neurodegenerative condition that means she can’t see what’s right in front of her, even though her eyesight is normal. PCA affects the part of the brain responsible for visual processing. Its seemingly bizarre symptoms make this condition particularly prone to misdiagnosis.
