Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal and progressive neurodegenerative disorder involving both upper and lower motor neurons. Interestingly, 15 to 41% of patients with ALS have concomitant frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Approximately, 50% of patients with ALS can copresent with a broader set of neuropsychological pathologies that do not meet FTD diagnostic criteria. This association resulted in revised and expanded criteria establishing the ALS-frontotemporal spectrum disorder (FTSD). In this case report, we review background information, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and structural and molecular imaging features of ALS-FTSD.
