Psychotic symptoms in Frontotemporal dementia with right fronto-temporal atrophy
2020
Abstract Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) often mimics a primary psychiatric disorder. A subset of patients with FTD presents with psychotic symptoms either during the course of illness and less often prior to the onset of cognitive decline. This leads to delay in diagnosis and inappropriate exposure to high dose antipsychotic medication. Among the predictors for psychotic symptoms, the involvement of specific anatomical regions such as right frontotemporal lobe has been reported in few studies. We report a case of FTD presenting as late-onset psychosis with right frontotemporal atrophy.
