Frontotemporal Dementia Differential Diagnosis in Clinical Practice
A broad spectrum of neurologic and psychiatric disorders may present with impairments to frontal networks. Almost half of patients referred had a final FTD syndrome diagnosis, with bvFTD the commonest final diagnosis. People with PPD, VCI, and AD present with similar clinical profiles but are distinguishable using MRI and FDG-PET imaging. Medical and psychiatric comorbidities are common in people with bvFTD.
