  • Summary

    This chapter reviews the different forms of frontotemporal dementia. These make up the most common forms of young-onset dementia alongside Alzheimer’s disease. The most frequent form is behavioural variant, which is initially characterised by behavioural changes before cognitive change becomes apparent. Incidence and prevalence rates are reviewed, alongside underlying pathology and diagnostic criteria. The chapter moves onto primary progressive aphasia, which is characterised by an initial presentation affecting language function. The three subtypes – aggramatic, logopenic, and semantic dementia – are reviewed, alongside how to distinguish between them.
