N2 - Frontotemporal Dementia (FTLD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting behavior and language. With an early onset, its clinical presentation is highly heterogeneous and though its neuropathology, once thought mainly to be a tauopathy, has become increasingly complex. Relative to other dementias, FTLD has been considered a disorder difficult to diagnose, recently been appreciated as a leading cause of dementia, mainly in patients before the age of 65 years, and is still confused with Alzheimer (AD in early stages), Parkinson or psychiatric pathology -of later apparition-, preventing from an early diagnosis
