Limbic predominant age related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE): differential diagnosis
Evidence-based neurology checklist on limbic predominant age related tdp-43 encephalopathy (late): differential diagnosis: Alzheimer’s disease Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is more likely to manifest language impairment AD has more executive and visuospatial impairments AD progresses faster than LATE…
Alzheimer’s disease
- Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is more likely to manifest language impairment
- AD has more executive and visuospatial impairments
- AD progresses faster than LATE
- Life expectancy is shorter tin AD that in LATE
- Amyloid and tau imaging are negative in ALATE
- CSF amyloid and phosphorylated tau are normal in LATE
Other differentials
