title: [Language disorders and neurodegenerative pathologies].
abstract: Language disorders in elderly people are not exclusively linked to the vascular pathology. There are many degenerative causes and the different clinical presentations and progression profiles must be known to clinicians. The detection of a language disorder during a "memory consultation" warrants an assessment by a speech therapist, in order to adapt the neuropsychological assessment and to decide on any complementary investigations.
