Sustained Long-term Improvement in Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of an Individual With Initial bvFTD Diagnosis: A Case Report
COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL NEUROLOGY(2022)
摘要
The behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is diagnosed by progressive neuropsychiatric changes and supportive neuroimaging. Making an accurate diagnosis of bvFTD is a challenging process that can be complicated by the presence of a subset of nonprogressive, or phenocopy, cases whose symptoms remain stable. Our patient, who presented with neuropsychiatric symptoms that are characteristic of bvFTD, improved and stabilized after thorough neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological evaluation and treatment. Our case illustrates that, despite diagnostic uncertainties, appropriate evaluation and treatment can lead to improvement and stabilization of neuropsychiatric symptoms in individuals presumed to have bvFTD.
