| description | Aims: Language variant frontotemporal dementia (lvFTD) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting language, often presenting with speech and comprehension difficulties, commonly in people aged 45–65 years. LvFTD presents a perplexing diagnostic challenge, often masquerading as primary progressive aphasia (PPA) while progressively dismantling communication and cognition. Despite growing recognition of lvFTD, a critical gap remains in distinguishing its early presentation with overlapping neurodegenerative syndromes, delaying accurate diagnosis and intervention. |
