Diagnosis
Clinical criteria for PPA (Gorno-Tempini 2011)
- Most prominent clinical feature is difficulty with language
- Deficits are the principle cause of impaired daily living activities
- Aphasia should be the most prominent deficit at symptom onset and for the initial phases of the disease
- The pattern of deficit must not be better accounted for by other nondegenerative nervous system or medical disorders
- Cognitive disturbance is not better accounted for by a psychiatric diagnosis
- There is not prominent initial episodic memory, visual memory, or visuoperceptual impairments
- There is not prominent initial behavioral disturbance
Variants:
Logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia
Nonfluent / agrammatic variant primary progressive aphasia
