The bvFTD phenocopy syndrome: a case study supported by repeated MRI, [ < sup > 18 < /sup > F]FDG-PET and pathological assessment

We describe a patient diagnosed with bvFTD prior to the revision of the diagnostic guidelines of FTD. Repeated neuroimaging was normal and there was no FTD pathology at autopsy, rejecting the diagnosis. We hypothesize on etiological factors that on hindsight might have played a role. This case report contributes to the understanding of phFTD and adds to the sparse literature of the postmortem assessment of phFTD.PMID:33881963 | DOI:10.1080/13554794.2021.1905855
