Consensus criteria for the diagnosis of frontotemporal cognitive and behavioural syndromes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is increasingly recognized to be a multisystem disorder which includes both clinical and neuropathological features of a frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). In order to provide a common framework within which to discuss the characteristics of the cognitive and behavioural syndromes of ALS, and with which to conduct clinical and neuropathological researc...
متن کاملThe El Escorial criteria: strengths and weaknesses.
The El Escorial criteria for the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) were established 20 years ago and have been used as inclusion criteria for clinical trials. However, concerns have been raised concerning their use as diagnostic criteria in clinical practice. Moreover, as modern genetics have shed new light on the heterogeneity of ALS and the close relationship between ALS and fr...
متن کاملRare Presentation of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis as Frontotemporal Dementia: A Case Report
This study is aimed is to study the relationship between Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD). There have been genetic and biochemical linkages found between the two conditions. ALS usually manifests with the symptoms of frontotemporal dysfunction syndromes or preceding them. However, there have been instances where ALS begins in the final stages of frontotempor...
متن کاملExpanding the phenotypic associations of globular glial tau subtypes
INTRODUCTION Clinicopathologic correlation in non-Alzheimer's tauopathies is variable, despite refinement of pathologic diagnostic criteria. In the present study, the clinical and neuroimaging characteristics of globular glial tauopathy (GGT) were examined to determine whether subtyping according to consensus guidelines improves clinicopathologic correlation. METHODS Confirmed GGT cases (n = ...
متن کاملThe diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
The term Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) covers a spectrum of neurodegenerative syndromes characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neurons (MNs). Other syndromes related to this spectrum of disorders include Progressive bulbar palsy (PBP), Progressive muscular atrophy (PMA), Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), Flail arm syndrome (Vulpian-Bernhardt syndrome), Flail leg syndrome, and A...
متن کاملClinical and pathological features of familial frontotemporal dementia caused by C9ORF72 mutation on chromosome 9p.
Frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are closely related clinical syndromes with overlapping molecular pathogenesis. Several families have been reported with members affected by frontotemporal dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or both, which show genetic linkage to a region on chromosome 9p21. Recently, two studies identified the FTD/ALS gene defect on chromosome 9p a...
