During the disease course, daily life functions and other domains of cognitive faculties were relatively well preserved and there were no behavioral or emotional problems reported by the family. On the contrary, this previously hot-tempered woman had become more tolerant of her family members. The mental status examination showed severe language disturbance, including verbal comprehension and expression, but other domains were relatively intact. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) studies revealed predominantly left-side disturbance. Combined with thorough clinical observation, a clinical diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia was made. As a valid diagnosis, the correlation between clinical features and neuropathological findings have been controversial in the published literature, and the relationship with other global degenerative diseases are still under debate. |
