title: A case report of anxiety disorder preceding frontotemporal dementia with asymmetric right temporal lobe atrophy.
abstract: Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia presents with progressive loss of social skills and cognition and is usually associated with asymmetric frontal or temporal lobe involvement.
