Diagnostic criteria for semantic variant PPA

Diagnostic criteria for semantic variant PPA
I. Clinical diagnosis of semantic variant PPA
Both of the following core features must be present:
  1. Impaired confrontation naming
  2. Impaired single-word comprehension
At least 3 of the following other diagnostic features must be present:
  1. Impaired object knowledge, particularly for low-frequency or low-familiarity items
  2. Surface dyslexia or dysgraphia
  3. Spared repetition
  4. Spared speech production (grammar and motor speech)
II. Imaging-supported semantic variant PPA diagnosis
Both of the following criteria must be present:
  1. Clinical diagnosis of semantic variant PPA
  2. Imaging must show one or more of the following results:

    a. Predominant anterior temporal lobe atrophy

    b. Predominant anterior temporal hypoperfusion or hypometabolism on SPECT or PET
III. Semantic variant PPA with definite pathology
Clinical diagnosis (criterion 1 below) and either criterion 2 or 3 must be present:
  1. Clinical diagnosis of semantic variant PPA
  2. Histopathologic evidence of a specific neurodegenerative pathology (eg, FTLD-tau, FTLD- TDP, AD, other)
  3. Presence of a known pathogenic mutation
AD: Alzheimer disease; FTLD: frontotemporal lobar degeneration; PPA: primary progressive aphasia.
