A CASE OF PRIMARY PROGRESSIVE APHASIA

摘要

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by an isolated and gradual dissolution of language function that progresses to dementia. This is a case study of a 70-year-old male who was diagnosed with progressive nonfluent aphasia in 2003. Eight years later, he had a marked decline in his condition, | ultimately progressing to dementia and death. This article reviews the clinical features of PPA, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment options, and autopsy findings.
