Semantic dementia is a lobar atrophy syndrome, related to a degeneration of
anterior temporal regions, and characterized by a very predominant impairment of
semantic memory. Whereas the diagnosis is relatively easy to establish in the
typical form and if the patient is seen early, the emergence of possible
additional cognitive or psycho-behavioural disorders can lead to a misdiagnosis
in favour of a frontotemporal dementia syndrome or even probable Alzheimer's
disease.
