A progressive form of dementia characterized by the global loss of language abilities
and initial preservation of other cognitive functions. Fluent and nonfluent subtypes
have been described. Eventually a pattern of global cognitive dysfunction, similar
to ALZHEIMER DISEASE, emerges. Pathologically, there are no Alzheimer or PICK DISEASE
like changes, however, spongiform changes of cortical layers II and III are present
in the TEMPORAL LOBE and FRONTAL LOBE. (From Brain 1998 Jan;121(Pt 1):115-26)
