Reversible frontotemporal brain sagging syndrome
A 71-year-old man presented with 6 years of forgetfulness, behavioral change, intrusive “growling” vocalizations, orthostatic headaches, and a cough.MRI brain was consistent with frontotemporal brain sagging syndrome (figure, A). He subsequently fell, hitting his chest on a chair, with immediate resolution of his cough, cognitive improvement, and corresponding radiologic desagging (figure, B; v...
متن کاملUplifting news for frontotemporal dementia: The sagging brain syndrome.
Neurology 2011;76:1370–1371 In this issue of Neurology, Wicklund et al.1 report and discuss an extraordinary series of individuals with clinical features of behavior variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD)2 caused by frontotemporal brain sagging syndrome (FBSS) (spontaneous intracranial hypotension). In FBSS, structural imaging shows downward displacement or “sagging” of the brain,3 which may h...
متن کاملFrontotemporal Dementia ( Ftd ) 2011
Arnold Pick’s description of lobar atrophy with progressive aphasia, apraxia and behavioural disturbance has been renamed Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). A significant expansion of knowledge has occurred in the last few years, especially in the molecular biology of FTD, which is estimated to account for 12-15% of all dementias and 30-50% of early onset cases. The clinical picture consists mainly...
متن کاملStructural and functional brain abnormalities place phenocopy frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in the FTD spectrum
PURPOSE 'Phenocopy' frontotemporal dementia (phFTD) patients may clinically mimic the behavioral variant of FTD (bvFTD), but do not show functional decline or abnormalities upon visual inspection of routine neuroimaging. We aimed to identify abnormalities in gray matter (GM) volume and perfusion in phFTD and to assess whether phFTD belongs to the FTD spectrum. We compared phFTD patients with bo...
متن کاملChromosome 3 linked frontotemporal dementia (FTD-3).
BACKGROUND The authors have identified and studied a large kindred in which frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. The trait has been mapped to the pericentromeric region of chromosome 3. METHODS The authors report on the clinical, neuroimaging, neuropsychological, and pathologic features in this unique pedigree collected during 17 years of study. RESULTS...
