Although the existence of atrophy of the anterior part of the brain has been known for a long time (Pick, 1892), the interest for fronto-temporal dementias (DFT) is relatively recent. Several excellent reviews have been recently published on the topic (Gustafson, 1993; Neary and Snowden, 1996; Pasquier et al., 1998) and, for that reason, we only recall the main aspects of the disease to insist on some lesser known features, illustrated by original observations.
