Case Report of a 63-Year-Old Patient With Alzheimer Disease ...
Early onset Alzheimer disease (EOAD) is a neurodegenerative dementing disorder that is relatively rare (<1% of all Alzheimer cases). Various genetic mutations of the presenilin 1 (PSEN1) and presenilin 2 (PSEN2) as well as the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene have been implicated.Mutations of PSEN1 and PSEN2 alter γ-secretase enzyme that cleaves APP resulting in increase in the relative ...
Case Study 1: A 55-Year-Old Woman With Progressive Cognitive
Second, in selected circumstances—particularly in cases with atypical nonamnesic clinical presentations or early-onset dementia in which AD is in the neuropathological differential diagnosis—we frequently pursue AD biomarkers of molecular neuropathology (10, 11). This is most frequently accomplished with CSF analysis of amyloid-β-42, total ...
Case report: Early-onset dementia: diagnostic challenges
The patient was finally diagnosed with early-onset dementia and temporal lobe epileptiform abnormalities. This case emphasises the need for diagnostic consideration of dementia in cognitively impaired patients, even when they are not of an advanced age. Keywords: epilepsy and seizures, memory disorders (psychiatry)
A Case Report of a 37-Year-Old Alzheimer's Disease Patient with
A previous study conducted on nondemented young adults with Down syndrome compared their results with that of studies conducted on autosomal dominant early-onset AD patients, where two groups of subjects concordantly showed predominant striatal uptake. 8 Indeed, previous studies on autosomal early-onset AD patients consistently showed high ...

Early-onset dementia: diagnostic challenges
Dementia in young individuals can be a diagnostic challenge given its often non-specific symptoms and findings. As a consequence, patients with early-onset dementia are more often misdiagnosed than those with late-onset dementia. 1 Although there is a set of known clinical criteria for early-onset dementia, misdiagnoses can occur even in ...

Early onset Alzheimer's disease
Early-onset dementia (EOD) starts below the age of 65 years. It accounts for 4-10% of all cases of dementia. EOD has significant psychosocial consequences because it affects people in their most productive years of life, with numerous family, professional and social responsibilities. There are many diseases that have been identified as the ...
Environmental and lifestyle risk factors for early-onset dementia: a

Despite the increasing incidence, the etiology is still unknown, with possible association ...
Extremely Early-Onset Frontotemporal Dementia: A Case Report and
Background: In most cases, the onset of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) occurs between the ages of 45 and 65 years. However, some patients experience an extremely early disease onset. Objective: To investigate the clinical, genetic, and pathological features of extremely early-onset FTD. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive clinical, genetic, and neuropathological analysis of a 25-year-old ...
Case of early-onset Alzheimer's disease with atypical manifestation
Short-term memory decline is the typical clinical manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, early-onset AD usually has atypical symptoms and may get misdiagnosed. In the present case study, we reported a patient who experienced symptoms of memory loss with progressive non-fluent aphasia accompanied by gradual social withdrawal. He did not meet the diagnostic criteria of AD based on ...
A Study of Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease
The purpose of this Longitudinal Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease Study (LEADS) is designed to look at disease progression in individuals with early onset cognitive impairment . Clinical/cognitive, imaging, biomarker, and genetic characteristics will be assessed across three cohorts: (1) early onset Alzheimer's Disease (EOAD) participants, (2 ...
Needs in Early Onset Dementia: A
Abstract Objectives: The aim was to explore the experiences of a caregiver of a patient with early onset dementia (EOD) and the needs of patient and caregiver. Methods: A single case study design was used to explore (1) unmet needs of patient and caregiver and (2) caregiver's experiences of transitions in care and health care services.
Early-onset dementias: diagnostic and etiological considerations
This paper summarizes the body of literature about early-onset dementia (EOD) that led to recommendations from the Fourth Canadian Consensus Conference on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dementia. A broader differential diagnosis is required for EOD compared with late-onset dementia. ... a case-control study. Lancet Neurol. 2012, 11: 1048-1056 ...
Early-onset dementia in adults
Nevertheless, the most common causes of early-onset dementia are the same in younger and older adults: Alzheimer disease (AD), vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The epidemiology, etiology, evaluation, and diagnosis of early-onset dementia will be reviewed here. A more general approach to adults with cognitive impairment or ...
Needs in early onset dementia: A qualitative case from the NeedYD study

Methods: A single case study design was used to explore (1) unmet needs of patient and caregiver and (2) caregiver's experiences of transitions in care and health care services. A qualitative analysis was used to examine the data.
