METHODS Eighty-eight patients with bvFTD were included in a cluster analysis applying levels of disinhibition and apathy (Cambridge Behavioural Inventory-Revised) to identify phenotyp...
متن کاملThe language profile of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia
BACKGROUND The language profile of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) remains to be fully defined. OBJECTIVE We aimed to quantify the extent of language deficits in this patient group. METHODS We assessed a cohort of patients with bvFTD (n = 24) in relation to patients with semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA; n = 14), nonfluent variant primary progressive ap...
متن کاملOrbitofrontal dysfunction discriminates behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia from Alzheimer's disease.
BACKGROUND Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) patients show prefrontal cortex dysfunction and atrophy. METHODS We investigated whether executive function in conjunction with prefrontal cortex atrophy discriminates bvFTD and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients efficiently at presentation. RESULTS AD and bvFTD patients were distinguishable by 89.5% on their performance of 3 exec...
متن کاملVery late-onset behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia
Current concepts regarding frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) have evolved rapidly in recent years. Genetically determined FTLD cohorts have broadened our knowledge pertaining to its clinical presentation, neuroimaging findings and demographics. In this study we present a case report of a patient diagnosed with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia diagnosis in her nineties during ho...
