“…The reason lies in the fact that the diagnosis of epilepsy is particularly challenging in DLB. In fact, the cognitive decline of patients includes an early and peculiar 'insular' impairment that hinders an accurate analysis of interoceptive and exteroceptive perceptions in conjunction with memory deficits [15]. Consequently, patients are not always reliable for remembering and describing subjective ictal semiology and/or for warning when fits or spells occur.…”

INTRODUCTIONDementia cases are expected to rise to 81.1 million in 2040. Efforts are underway to develop diagnostic methods to facilitate early detection of the disease. Herein we review research findings focusing on pragmatic dysfunction in patients with dementia and evaluate the usefulness of assessing dementia and its progress with a battery of tests assessing figurative language skills.METHODSA total of 74,778 article titles were identified from EMBASE, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. After systematic screening, 51 journal articles were selected for the final review.RESULTThe review suggests that impaired figurative language might be a marker for early cognitive decline. Different forms of figurative language may be impaired at different stages of the disease and in different types of dementia involving different neuropathologies.CONCLUSIONThe use of pragmatic tests in combination with the existing diagnostic protocols might increase the probability of early diagnosis.HIGHLIGHTS Pragmatic impairment could be a marker of early cognitive impairment. Figurative language—an important pragmatic aspect—is disrupted in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer's disease (AD). Figurative language impairment might precede literal language impairment. Pragmatic tests could be more sensitive than standard neuropsychological tests. Inclusion of pragmatic tests in diagnostic guidelines might bolster early detection.
