Abstrakt:	Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is one of the significant neurological disorders that mostly affects over-60-year-old adults. In essence, FTD, which results from frontal and temporal lobe damages, manifests itself in several ways that include behavioral modifications as well as linguistic loss. These are behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD), primary progressive aphasia (PPA), or various movement disorders with genetic links. FTD takes, on average, three years to be diagnosed since there are no definitive diagnostic tests for this disease. MRI and PET scans use brain imaging techniques to observe damaged parts of the brain. The case study shows a lot of deep-seated language deficits and memory impairments, which ultimately point to the involvement of the temporal lobe. Understanding about FTD and early detection are crucial in enhancing intervention as well as management efforts.
