Repeated neuroimaging was normal and there was no FTD pathology at autopsy, rejecting the diagnosis. We hypothesize on etiological factors that on hindsight might have played a role. This case report contributes to the understanding of phFTD and adds to the sparse literature of the postmortem ...
Impact of cortical and subcortical atrophy in the diagnosis and prognosis of bvFTD: A multicenter longitudinal studyThe behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) presents with variable patterns of cortical and subcortical atrophy on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). We aimed to assess the ...
Discussion:Ventricular features, particularly the APR, might be reliable and easy-to-implement markers for bvFTD diagnosis. We have made our ventricle feature estimation and bvFTD diagnostic tool publicly available, allowing application of our model in other studies....
Purpose The diagnosis of behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is challenging during the predementia stage when symptoms are subtle and confounding. Morphological and functional neuroimaging can be particularly helpful during this stage but few data are available.Morbelli, SilviaFerrara, ...
Healthcare professionals should be educated on the initial presentations of FTD, to enable carers and families receive timely diagnosis and appropriate support. Future research should investigate the impact of fFTD on carers and families, to explore positive or meaningful experiences in caring, as ...
