While a growing number of studies have shown the presence of behavioral alterations in patients with sv-PPA, PG has been observed only in the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bv-FTD). To date, no case of PG with the co-occurrence of prominent semantic deficits at the onset of the disease has been reported in the literature. Impulse disorders at onset may wrongly lead to a misdiagnosis (ie, psychiatric disorders). Therefore, a wider characterization of cognitive/aphasia symptoms in patients presenting impulse disorders and predominant language dysfunctions is recommended.Keywords: impulse disorders, language disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, semantic dementiaBattista PCapozzo RRizzo GZecca CAnastasia ADe Blasi RLogroscino GDove Medical Pressarticleimpulse disorderslanguage disordersneurodegenerative diseasessemantic dementiaGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 14, Pp 727-733 (2019)
