Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration –Agrammatic Primary Progressive Aphasia:Case Report

Abstract

We present a case of a 57-year-old male architect with a master’s degree in economics who ran his own business and gave lectures until 2016, with a clynical picture of 16 years of evolution which began with anxiety symptoms, excessive concern about trivial events, as well as difficulty in planning and decision making. In the last 3 years, there is evidence of social isolation, difficulty in finding words and decreased verbal fluency; he omits connectors in the grammatical composition in association with ritualistic, stereotyped and perseverative behavior (makes several paintings from the same photograph).
