Abstract

Focal atrophy of the left anterior temporal lobe has been associated with the semantic type of primary progressive aphasia evolving to semantic dementia. In contrast, focal atrophy of the right temporal lobe has more recently been described as a controverse entity reported as the right temporal variant of FTD. We describe two cases of FTD dementia syndromes: in Case 1, atrophy of the right temporal lobe led to significant behavioural impairment and difficulties in recognizing known people. In Case 2, atrophy of the left temporal lobe was associated with severe aggressive, ritualistic behaviour and aphasia.

痴呆症的右颞叶与左颞叶半身像：从两例局灶性额颞叶痴呆综合征病例中汲取的教训。

左前颞叶局灶性萎缩与原发性进行性失语症的语义型演变为语义痴呆有关。与此相反，右侧颞叶的局灶性萎缩最近被描述为一种反常现象，即FTD的右侧颞叶变异型。我们描述了两例FTD痴呆综合征病例：在病例1中，右颞叶萎缩导致了明显的行为障碍和识别已知人物的困难。在病例2中，左颞叶萎缩与严重的攻击性、仪式性行为和失语症有关。
