[edit] FTLD/FTD

The article seems to get FTLD and FTD mixed up

I think you're right. Frontotemporal lobar degeneration is a pathologic finding/process which often represents the underlying etiology of the clinical syndrome frontotemporal dementia. This page conflates the two. -Rustavo^{Talk/Contribs} 22:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

That is true, but it is also the pathologic finding that tends to underly the clinical syndrome of semantic dementia and some cases of progressive nonfluent aphasia, which you removed from the article. sallison 23:49, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for putting that information back in (corrected to no longer identify FTLD as a "dementia" itself). -Rustavo^{Talk/Contribs} 03:50, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
