A Case Study of a Multilingual Individual with Primary Progressive Aphasia: Diagnostic Considerations and Implications for Language Representation

Overlapping characteristics of both logopenic and non-fluent/agrammatic variants of PPA were evident. Patient's neuroimaging findings and clinical presentation suggest an advanced PPA syndrome. Cognitive/brain reserve and a globalized language representation, theorized in bilingual individuals, could be considered as contributors to the trajectory of her deficits. This case study contributes to the growing literature on PPA in diverse populations and multilingual individuals.
