Knowledge of characteristic clinical feature is essential in differential diagnosis of dementia. Early social behavioral disinhibition, frontal syndrome among other clinical signs of dementia, together with frontal and temporal uni- or bilateral cerebral atrophy findings lead us to diagnose morbus Pick. Pick's disease is the most frequent and known frontotemporal dementia (FTD) of the group of frontotemporal lobar degenerations.
