Case number 9.
0:01
The next case is a 55-year-old male with word retrieval difficulty.
0:07
On the MRI here, we see asymmetric left perisylvian atrophy.
0:13
So it's the axial image. Here's the coronal image.
0:15
You can see the definite asymmetry and the size of the sulci here.
0:20
So this patient has Logopenic Progressive Aphasia.
0:25
When we were talking about FTD, we had talked about the nonfluent
0:28
and the semantic, a variants of primary progressive aphasia.
0:31
But this is really something different.
0:33
The logopenic primary progressive aphasia, again, presents with word retrieval
0:38
difficulties, which is what this patient had, and sentenced repetition problems.
0:42
We see the atrophy of the temporoparietal junction.
0:45
And this is really a subcategory of Alzheimer's disease, unlike these two,
0:50
which are really a subcategory of frontal temporal dementia.
