Right temporal variant frontotemporal dementia

Right temporal variant of frontotemporal dementia is a relatively recently described, and less common, subtype of frontotemporal lobar degeneration,

Two distinct pathologic subtypes have been identified with differing clinical presentation. One is a tauopathy, which clinically maps to a similar presenation to behavioral variant FTD, whilst the second has TDP-43 pathology and more closely resembles language variant FTD .
