Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) Frontotemporal dementia: clinical In - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) Frontotemporal dementia: clinical • In 1892, Arnold Pick describes a focal syndromes and pathobiology neurodegenerative condition involving the frontal and anterior temporal lobes William W. Seeley, MD Associate Professor of Neurology and Pathology UCSF • Alois Alzheimer, Pick’s Recent Advances in Neurology student, observes that February 13, 2014 some patients harbor argyophilic “Pick bodies” Bruce Miller, UCSF unlike the neurofibrillary tangles of AD Take home points FTD Prevalence Common cause early age-of-onset dementia • FTD is a common and under-diagnosed form of early age- of-onset dementia strongly linked to ALS • 1:1 with AD 45-64 years ( Ratnavalli et al., Neurology 2002 ) • More common than AD when symptoms begin • FTD refers to a canon of unique clinical syndromes that (1) before age 60 years (Knopman et al., Neurology 2004) reflect focal network-based neurodegeneration and (2) generate a pathological DDX (length varies by syndrome) • Broader FTD spectrum, including CBD/PSP and ALS, even more common • FTLD refers to a spectrum of FTD-associated pathological entities: FTLD-tau, -TDP-43, and -FUS; these misfolded Less common in older patients? proteins may act as prion-like “strains” that seed network- based disease spread • 25% had symptom onset after 65 in one FTLD series (Barborie 2011) • Most FTD is sporadic, but the genetics of familial FTD are helping to shed light on disease pathogenesis • May present with less focal cortical atrophy and a higher rate of hippocampal sclerosis (Barborie 2012) 1
