Degenerative Jargon Aphasia: Unusual Progression of Logopenic/Phonological Progressive Aphasia?
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) corresponds to the gradual degeneration of language which can occur as nonfluent/agrammatic PPA, semantic variant PPA or logopenic variant PPA. We describe the clinical evolution of a patient with PPA presenting jargon aphasia as a late feature. At the onset of the disease (ten years ago) the patient showed anomia and executive deficits, followed later on by ph...

Logopenic aphasia, mainly characterized by word anomia, sentence and phrase comprehension difficulties secondary to phonological loop deficits but relatively preserved single word comprehension and no agrammatism, is one of the 3 main variants of primary progressive aphasia (PPA). We describe the first case of PPA that fulfilled clinical criteria of logopenic aphasia but showed abnormal DWI hyp...
متن کاملProgressive logopenic/phonological aphasia: Erosion of the language network
The primary progressive aphasias (PPA) are paradigmatic disorders of language network breakdown associated with focal degeneration of the left cerebral hemisphere. Here we addressed brain correlates of PPA in a detailed neuroanatomical analysis of the third canonical syndrome of PPA, logopenic/phonological aphasia (LPA), in relation to the more widely studied clinico-anatomical syndromes of sem...
متن کاملIdentification of an atypical variant of logopenic progressive aphasia.
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between aphasia severity and neurocognitive function, disease duration and temporoparietal atrophy in 21 individuals with the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA). We found significant correlations between aphasia severity and degree of neurocognitive impairment as well as temporoparietal atrophy; but not disease durat...
