RESUMO
Objective@#This study examined the volume of choroid plexus across AD without delusion (AD-D), AD with paranoid delusion (AD+PD), and AD with misidentification delusion (AD+MD). @*Methods@#This is a hospital based cross-sectional study of patients with AD. The main outcome measure is the volume of choroid plexus that were measured as regions of interest with magnetic resonance imaging and the FreeSurfer analysis at baseline. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was conducted to compare the differences on the volume of choroid plexus across AD-D, AD+PD, and AD+MD after controlling demographics. @*Results@#There was no volume difference in the both choroid plexus between AD-D and AD+D. However, the volumes of both cho-roid plexus were significantly reduced in AD+MD compared to AD+PD. @*Conclusion@#Our study demonstrates that AD+MD has significantly reduced volumes of choroid plexus compared to AD+PD. These findings suggest that AD+MD and AD+PD may have different pathophysiological mechanisms related to neuroimmune re-sponses in the choroid plexus.
