摘要
Late-onset primary psychiatric disease (PPD) and behavioral frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) present with a similar frontal lobe syndrome. We compare brain glucose metabolism in bvFTD and late-onset PPD and investigate the metabolic correlates of cognitive and behavioral disturbances through FDG-PET/MRI. We studied 37 bvFTD and 20 late-onset PPD with a mean clinical follow-up of three years. At baseline evaluation metabolism of the dorsolateral, ventrolateral, orbitofrontal regions and caudate could classify the patients with a diagnostic accuracy of 91% (95% CI: 0.81-0.98%). 45% of PPD showed low-grade hypometabolism in the anterior cingulate and/or parietal regions. Frontal lobe metabolism was normal in 32% of genetic bvFTD and bvFTD with motor neuron signs. Hypometabolism of the frontal and caudate regions, but not the cingulate cortex, could help in distinguishing bvFTD from PPD, except in cases with motor neuron signs and/or genetic bvFTD for which brain metabolism may be less informative.
