Abstract

Pick´s disease is a serious clinicopathological condition that causes the frontotemporal lobe to atrophy circumferentially. Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is now the clinical diagnosis for patients with dementia who have frontotemporal atrophy. FTLD with TDP-43-positive inclusions, corticobasal degeneration, progressive supranuclear palsy, basophilic inclusion body disease, neuronal intermediate filament inclusion disease, and argyrophilic grain disease are additional underlying diseases in FTLD patients.
