Detecting frontotemporal dementia syndromes using MRI biomarkers

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2019
Background: Diagnosing frontotemporal dementia may be challenging. New methods for analysis of regional brain atrophy patterns on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could add to the diagnostic assessment.

A frontotemporal dementia-like case after high-altitude climbing

The Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery, 2023
Background We report a case who developed long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae similar to frontotemporal dementia after suffering a "high altitude sickness" while climbing a high mountain without taking precautions against acute hypoxia. Case presentation

Auto-antibodies against P/Q- and N-type voltage-dependent calcium channels mimicking frontotemporal dementia

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2018
The behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia is usually a sporadic and progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Here, we report the subacute onset of a frontotemporal dementia phenotype with a treatable etiology.

Apraxia profiles—A single cognitive marker to discriminate all variants of frontotemporal lobar degeneration and Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring, 2018
Introduction Apraxia is common in neurodegenerative dementias but underrepresented in clinical workup for differential diagnoses. Methods Praxis‐profiles were assessed with the Dementia Apraxia Test in 93 patients with early stages of biologically ...

A case of familial frontotemporal dementia caused by a progranulin gene mutation

Clinical Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2023
After Alzheimer’s disease, Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the most common cause of early-onset dementia. Several genetic mutations have been identified in familial FTD, with mutations in progranulin (GRN) accounting for approximately 20–25% of familial

Treatment of Frontotemporal Dementia [PDF]

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2014
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) encompasses a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases with heterogeneous clinical presentations and two predominant types of underlying neuropathology. FTD typically comprises three distinct clinical syndromes: behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), and ...

Frontotemporal Dementia: A Clinical Review

Journal of Education, Health and Sport
Frontotemporal dementia is a disease in which atrophic changes occur in the frontal lobes and frontal temporal lobes of the brain. Frontotemporal dementias are a clinically, neuroanatomically and pathologically diverse group of diseases that ...
