ABSTRACT
The authors present a review of the selected publications on frontotemporal dementia. Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a progressive degeneration of the central nervous system. The typical symptoms of FTD are behavioural disorders, affective symptoms and speech disorders. Neuroimaging methods reveal atrophic lesions and hypometabolism of the frontal and temporal lobes.
