AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS Is also known as als, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 1, autosomal dominant, fals, lou gehrig disease, charcot disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 1, familial

Description

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscular paralysis reflecting degeneration of motor neurons in the primary motor cortex, corticospinal tracts, brainstem and spinal cord.

Most common symptoms of AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS

  • Microcephaly
  • Muscle weakness
  • Pain
  • Cataract

FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA WITH MOTOR NEURON DISEASE

Alternate names

FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA WITH MOTOR NEURON DISEASE Is also known as frontotemporal dementia and/or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ftd-mnd, ftdmnd, ftd-als, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and/or frontotemporal dementia, alsftd, frontotemporal dementia and/or motor neuron

Description

Frontotemporal dementia with motor neuron disease (FTD-MND) is a type of frontotemporal lobar degeneration characterized by the insidious onset (between the ages of 38-78 years) of dementia-associated psychiatric symptoms (e.g. personality changes, uninhibited behavior, irritability, aggressiveness), memory difficulties, global intellectual impairment, emotional disorders and transcortical motor aphasia that eventually leads to mutism, in addition to the manifestations of motor neuron disease such as neurogenic muscular wasting (similar to what is seen in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; see this term). The disease is progressive, with death occurring 2-5 years after onset.

Most common symptoms of FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA WITH MOTOR NEURON DISEASE

  • Ataxia
  • Muscle weakness
  • Ptosis
  • Cognitive impairment
  • Dysarthria

SEMANTIC DEMENTIA

Alternate names

SEMANTIC DEMENTIA Is also known as semantic primary progressive aphasia, semantic variant ppa

Description

Semantic dementia (SD) is a form of frontotemporal dementia (FTD; see this term), characterized by the progressive, amodal and profound loss of semantic knowledge (combination of visual associative agnosia, anomia, surface dyslexia or dysgraphia and disrupted comprehension of word meaning) and behavioral abnormalities, attributable to the degeneration of the anterior temporal lobes.

Most common symptoms of SEMANTIC DEMENTIA

  • Dementia
  • Neurological speech impairment
  • Brain atrophy
  • Aphasia
  • Dyslexia

Description

Progressive non-fluent aphasia (PNFA) is a form of frontotemporal dementia (FTD; see this term), characterized by agrammatism, laborious speech, alexia, and agraphia, frequently accompanied by apraxia of speech (AOS). Language comprehension is relatively preserved.

Most common symptoms of PROGRESSIVE NON-FLUENT APHASIA

  • Behavioral abnormality
  • Depressivity
  • Anxiety
  • Mental deterioration
  • Stroke

Most common symptoms of BEHAVIORAL VARIANT OF FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA

  • Hyperreflexia
  • Gait disturbance
  • Behavioral abnormality
  • Aggressive behavior
  • Mental deterioration
