ICD-11 code : 6D83;
Preferred Label : Frontotemporal dementia;
ICD-11 definition : Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a group of primary neurodegenerative disorders primarily
affecting the frontal and temporal lobes. Onset is typically insidious with a gradual
and worsening course. Several syndromic variants (some with an identified genetic
basis or familiality) are described that include presentations with predominantly
marked personality and behavioral changes (such as executive dysfunction, apathy,
deterioration of social cognition, repetitive behaviours, and dietary changes) or
with predominantly language deficits (that include semantic, agrammatic/nonfluent,
and logopenic forms), or with a combination of these deficits. Memory function, psychomotor
speed, as well as visuoperceptual and visuospatial abilities often remain relatively
intact, particularly during the early stages of the disorder.;
