Abstract: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the third-leading cause of cortical dementia after Alzheimer's disease(AD) and Lewy body dementia, and is characterized by a dementia where behavioral disturbances are prominent and appear early in the course of the disease. We report the case of a 51 year-old women affected by dementia with behavioral disturbances. Neuropsychological studies revealed alterations in several executive functions and Neuroimaging and Electrophysiological studies revealed frontotemporal damage. Discussion regarding the importance of an early differential diagnosis between AD and FTD is emphasized.
