Clinical Manifestations
1Kauvery hospital, Chennai, Tamil nadu, India.
Background:
FTLD presents with executive function impairment along with memory impairment semantic memory. Herein we present one such case who presented with Parkinsonism features, however PET CT has the trust METHOD: A 60 year male presented with complaints of slowness of walking, slowness of activity, with staring look over 1 years with further progression to repetitive spech, apathy, impatient of activity of daily living with insomnia. On examination patient had extrapyramidal features with perseveration, echolalia, palilalia. A possibility of treatable condition paraneoplastic syndrome / neurodegenerative Parkinson plus was considered.
Result:
Autoimmune and paraneoplastic profile negative. PET CT done which was digestive of FTLD.
Conclusion:
HEREIN we present a case of FTLD which was marked by Parkinson feature.
Insights
This case study highlights Frontotemporal Lobe Degeneration (FTLD) presenting with Parkinsonian features. Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography (PET CT) confirmed the diagnosis, differentiating it from other conditions.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurodegenerative Diseases
Background:
- Frontotemporal Lobe Degeneration (FTLD) typically involves executive dysfunction and memory deficits.
- This case presents with atypical Parkinsonism, including gait slowness and repetitive speech.
- Initial considerations included treatable conditions like paraneoplastic syndrome or Parkinson's Plus.
