Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia
This article reviews many of the complex facets of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). A particular focus is on improving diagnostic accuracy to reduce the arduous diagnostic odyssey that so many patients and families endure. Strategies to promote diagnostic accuracy and approach the management of problematic symptoms are also discussed. RECENT FINDINGS Although the International Consensus Criteria for bvFTD were published more than a decade ago and clinicopathologic studies have confirmed their utility, diagnostic confusion continues. This article present...

Atypical Alzheimer Disease Variants
This article discusses the clinical, neuroimaging, and biomarker profiles of sporadic atypical Alzheimer disease (AD) variants, including early-onset AD, posterior cortical atrophy, logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia, dysexecutive variant and behavioral variant AD, and corticobasal syndrome. RECENT FINDINGS Significant advances are being made in the recognition and characterization of the syndromically diverse AD variants. These variants are identified by the predominant cognitive and clinical features: early-onset amnestic syndrome, aphasia, visuospatial impairments, dysexecutive and behavioral disturban...

Alzheimer Disease
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in adults (mid to late life), highlighting the importance of understanding the risk factors, clinical manifestations, and recent developments in diagnostic testing and therapeutics. RECENT FINDINGS Advances in fluid (CSF and blood-based) and imaging biomarkers are allowing for a more precise and earlier diagnosis of AD (relative to non-AD dementias) across the disease spectrum and in patients with atypical clinical features. Specifically, tau- and amyloid-related AD pathologic changes can now be measured by CSF, plasma, and positron em...

Management of Status Epilepticus, Refractory Status Epilepticus, and Super-refractory Status Epilepticus
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Status epilepticus is a serious condition caused by disorders and diseases that affect the central nervous system. In status epilepticus, hypersynchronous epileptic activity lasts longer than the usual duration of isolated self-limited seizures (time t1), which causes neuronal damage or alteration of neuronal networks at a certain time point (time t2), depending on the type of and duration of status epilepticus. The successful management of status epilepticus includes both the early termination of seizure activity and the earliest possible identification of a causative etiology, which may require inde...

Surgical Treatments for Epilepsy
This article outlines indications for epilepsy surgery, describes the presurgical workup, and summarizes current available surgical approaches. RECENT FINDINGS Class I evidence has demonstrated the superiority of resective surgery compared to medical therapy for seizure control and quality of life in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. The use of minimally invasive options, such as laser interstitial thermal therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery, are alternatives to resective surgery in well-selected patients. Neuromodulation techniques, such as responsive neurostimulation, deep brain stimulation, and vagus nerve...
