Abstract

 The logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia [also referred to as logopenic progressive aphasia (LPA)] is the most recently identified variant of primary progressive aphasia (PPA). This disorder,characterized by a unique speech and language profile,occurs due to damage to specific anatomical areas. An international panel of experts has established a set of diagnostic criteria for PPA and its clinical variants. The clinical diagnostic criteria for the logopenic variant include core features such as impaired single-word retrieval in spontaneous speech and impaired repetition of sentences and phrases. Additional features,of which at least 3 are essential for diagnosing the logopenic variant,include phonological errors in speech,spared single-word comprehension and object knowledge,spared motor speech,and lack of frank agrammatism. For a next imaging-supported diagnosis,the aforementioned clinical features must be accompanied by imaging findings revealing atrophy,hypoperfusion,or hypometabolism in the left temporo-parietal junction area. Finally,a pathology-confirmed case of the logopenic variant requires a clinical diagnosis of the syndrome accompanied by histopathological data or the presence of a known pathogenic mutation. Studies have clarified the clinical phenotype of this disorder,suggesting a prominent impairment of the phonological working memory. Several studies have provided evidences of a possible link between the logopenic phenotype and the specific pathological and genetic correlates. The diagnostic guidelines will enable a more accurate identification of the individuals with the logopenic variant,thus facilitating the documentation of the course of illness and,ultimately,the underlying pathological substrate in this patient group via the pathology-confirmed series.
