Rare 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 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...
متن کاملCerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers for Kii Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/Parkinsonism-Dementia Complex
Objective. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex is classified as one of the tauopathies. Methods. The total tau, phosphorylated tau, and amyloid β42 levels were assayed in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with Kii amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex (n = 12), Alzheimer's disease (n = 9), Parkinson's disease (n = 9), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (...
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...
