Progressive Nonfluent Aphasia With Dementia: A Case Report

by Edward P. Feher, Phd Rachelle, S. Doody, Md Jean Whitehead, Ma Francis J, Pirozzolo Phd , 1990
"... We report a patient with progressive nonfluent aphasia and mild dementia. On 9-month follow-up evaluation, there was significant deterioration in both language and cognition. Unlike in Alzheimer’s disease, the aphasia was of the Broca’s type. In contrast with primary progressive aphasia, a dementia ..."

Progressive Nonfluent Aphasia With Ideomotor Apraxia and Rigidity in the Right Upper Extremity

by unknown authors , 2007
"... A woman developed a slowly progressive speech disturbance at age 51. Three years latter she showed difficulty in calculation, reading and writing. At age 57, she complained of right shoulder pain. At age 58, neurological examination revealed rigidity, bradykinesia and ideomotor apraxia in the right ..."

Rare Lexical Speech Automatisms in a Case of Progressive Nonfluent Aphasia

by unknown authors
"... Lexical speech automatisms (LSAs) are common in aphasia following stroke (Alaquanine, 1957; Code, 1994). Extensive study in recent years demonstrates that language and speech can be impaired by progressive damage in the absence of significant ..."

A Case of Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease Combined with Progressive Nonfluent Aphasia

by Duk L. Na, Won Yong Lee, Duk L. Na , 2003
"... It is not uncommon for idiopathic parkinson's disease (IPD) to occur concurrently with other degenerative dementing disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. However, there has been no report about the comorbidity of IPD and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. We report a 70-year-old man diagn ..."

diagnosed with IPD accompanied by progressive non-fluent aphasia (PA). Brain MRI showed left frontal opercular atrophy, and an 18F-FDG PET scan revealed predominant left frontotemporal hypometabolism. It remains unknown whether or not the co-occurrence of IPD and PA was coincidental.

Frontal lobe damage impairs process and content in semantic memory: evidence from category specific effects in progressive nonfluent aphasia

by Jamie Reilly , Amy D Rodriguez , Jonathan E Peelle , Murray Grossman - Cortex , 2011
"... t r a c t Portions of left inferior frontal cortex have been linked to semantic memory both in terms of the content of conceptual representation (e.g., motor aspects in an embodied semantics framework) and the cognitive processes used to access these representations (e.g., response selection). Prog ..."

). Progressive non-fluent aphasia (PNFA) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by progressive atrophy of left inferior frontal cortex. PNFA can, therefore, provide a lesion model for examining the impact of frontal lobe damage on semantic processing and content. In the current study we examined picture

"... Background: Until recently, frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) was considered a rare neurodegenerative disorder that was difficult to diagnose. The publication of consensus criteria for FTLD, however, prompted systematic studies. The criteria categorize FTLD into 3 subgroups: frontotemporal d ..."

impairment for at least two years. The most common variants of PPA are: 1) Progressive nonfluent aphasia (PNFA), 2) semantic dementia (SD), 3) logopenic progressive aphasia (LPA). PNFA is characterized by labored speech, agrammatism in production, and/or comprehension. In some cases the syndrome begins
