Observations related to criteria failure for possible behavioural variant FTD (n = 19/137)
Observations related to criteria failure for possible bvFTD | Number of cases |
---|---|
Early severe amnesia/episodic memory impairments, diagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease at presentation | 6 |
Cases with 2/6 diagnostic features at presentation, diagnosed as bvFTD or ‘non-amnestic MCI’ either at initial (n = 4) or last evaluation (n = 2) (two cases had ‘don’t know’ responses in 3/6 diagnostic features). | 6 |
Unusual pathology: AGD (n = 1), AGD and TPSD (n = 1), AGD and TDP (n = 1) | 3 |
Prominent delusions, diagnosed as depression/delusional disorder (n = 1), bvFTD (n = 1) at presentation | 2 |
Presented with spatial disorientation, diagnosed as dementia NOS at presentation (bvFTD at last visit) | 1 |
PGRN mutation with known family history, diagnosed as bvFTD at presentation (only one feature rated as ‘yes’) | 1 |
AGD = argyrophilic grain disease; MCI = mild cognitive impairment; PGRN = progranulin; TPSD = tangle predominant senile dementia.
bvFTD = behavioural variant FTD.
