Descriptor degeneración lobular frontotemporal
Entry term(s) degeneración del lóbulo frontotemporal
Scope note: Grupo heterogéneo de trastornos neurodegenerativos caracterizados por atrofia de los lóbulos frontal y temporal, asociada a pérdida neuronal, gliosis y demencia. Los pacientes presentan cambios progresivos de las funciones sociales, del comportamiento y del lenguaje. Se pueden identificar múltiples subtipos o formas, basados en la presencia o ausencia de inclusiones de PROTEÍNA TAU.
