List the three types of Fronto-Temporal Dementias
Behaviour Variant (BvFTD)
Non-Fluent Primary Progressive Aphasia (NvPPA)
Fluent (semantic) Primary Progressive Aphasia (SvPPA)
T or F: Logopenic progressive aphasia is fronto-temporal
False- temporo-parietal
Which type of PPA looks similar to Alzheimers in terms of neuroanatomy and physiology? What is the major difference?
Logopenic PPA
The difference from Alzheimers is that language is affected before memory.
_____ is the progressive deterioration of behaviour and/or cognition
bvFTD
At least three of which 6 symptoms must be present for possible bvFTD:
- Behavioural disinhibition
- Apathy or inertia
- Emotional Blunting
- Perseverative, stereotyped, compulsive or ritualistic behaviour
- Hyperorality and dietary changes
- Impaired executive functions
What 3 symptoms must be present for probable bvFTD?
- Satisfied Criteria for possible bvFTD
- Significant functional decline
- Imaging Results consistent with bvFTD
Why might someone who exhibits the symptoms of probable bvFTD not be diagnosed with it?
Exclusion Criteria:
- other non-degenerative neurological or medical cond.
- psychiatric disorder
- biomarkers suggestive of alzheimer’s disease or other neurodegenerative process
T or F: Exclusion criteria need to be met for a diagnosis of possible bvFTD
False -only for probable bvFTD
List the three variants of primary progressive aphasia?
NvPPA
SvPPA
LvPPA
Which type of PPA is phonologically based?
Nonfluent-agrammatic PPA
List the signs that must be present for Nonfluent-Agrammatic PPA?
One of: - Agrammatism or Apraxia of speech Two of: - Impaired complex syntax - spared comprehension of single words - Spared object knowledge
List the signs that must be present for Semantic variant PPA?
Both: - Impaired confrontation naming - impaired comprehension of single words Three of: - Impaired object knowledge - Surface dyslexia or dysgraphia - Spared repetition - spared syntax and motor speech
List the signs that must be present for Logopenic PPA?
Both:
- Impaired single word retrieval (naming and convo.)
- Impaired repetition of sentences and phrases
Three of:
- Phonologic errors on naming and in convo.
- Spared single-word comprehension and object knowl.
- Spared motor speech
- Absence of agrammatism
What is the difference b/w alzheimers and Logopenic PPA?
Logopenic PPA is unilateral parieto-temporal
Alzheimers is bilateral parieto-temporal
What is it if they present with:
- Behavioural disinhibition
- Apathy or inertia
- Emotional Blunting
- Significant functional decline
- Imaging Results showning frontal and/or anterior atrophy
