[Frontotemporal dementia in the elderly: Practical tools].

Abstract

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is known as a form of dementia that generally occurs at a relatively young age. Diagnosing FTD is often complex, particularly due to various clinical symptoms. Often, cognitive impairments and behavioral problems in elderly are attributed to other, more common causes. However, although rare, FTD can also occur in older adults. This article presents two FTD cases in older individuals, raising awareness. Timely and accurate FTD diagnosis can deliver appropriate care and support for both patients and their families.
