Abstract

The article presents a case study of 68-year-old woman, a retired school teacher presented with multidomain cognitive impairment which is associated with behavioral symptoms. Topics mentioned include the diagnosis of frontotemporal lobe degeneration (FTLD) or frontal variant Alzheimer Disease (FvAD) with incidental amyloidosis, the focus on the results of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and F-florbetapir PET, and the difficulty of differentiating FvAD from FTLD.
