Progressive frontal dysfunction.

Abstract

A number of causes of progressive mental impairment show a preponderance of frontal lobe symptoms. It is proposed that these disorders can be subdivided into primary and secondary frontal dementias, based on the symptomatology and the site of major pathological disruption. An anatomical explanation, based on variations in cortical and subcortical influences, aids in understanding the clinical differences.
