Abstract

Common symptoms because of temporal lobe lesions are Gogi aphasia and prosopagnosia, which are presented in semantic dementia (SD). The severity of the symptoms depends on the background pathology type contributing to the temporal lobe lesion and its extent. In this study, we discussed the pathological background of temporal lobe lesions in patients with elderly-onset dementia with SD-like symptoms.
