Comparative Study of Subcortical Atrophy in Patients with Frontotemporal Dementia and Dementia with Extrapyramidal Signs

Abstract: Objectives : To investigate the severity of subcortical atrophy in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) without extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) and dementia with EPS. In addition, we aim to verify if there is correlation between demographic and clinical characteristics and subcortical atrophy in the groups. Methodology : The sample was composed of 21 patients with dementia and EPS as well as 19 patients with FTD without EPS. A linear assessment was conducted in order to identify the degree of subcortical atrophy (i.e.,… Show more

“…In addition, the MRI in our case showed focal frontal atrophy. FTD eventually can present with parkinsonian symptoms and other features of subcortical pathology, 13 which may produce additional similarity between pugilistic dementia and FTD. In fact, our case has some of the clinical characteristics of FTD, but lacks core clinical features and does not meet diagnostic criteria for FTD.…”

“…Однією з найбільш ранніх змін, що спостерігаються при атрофії головного мозку, є дилатація лобних рогів бічного шлуночка. Встановлено, що BFI є одним з найбільш послідовних і практичних лінійних вимірювань, порівняно з іншими показниками, для оцінки ранньої мозкової атрофії [14].…”
