Abstract
- This document is a letter to the editor discussing a rare manifestation of a VCP mutation. The case report describes a 58-year-old woman who experienced focal epilepsy followed by rapidly progressive frontotemporal dementia. The woman had a family history of dementia and behavioral changes. Neurological examination revealed frontal lobe syndrome, and brain imaging showed frontal lobe atrophy and hypometabolism. Genetic testing confirmed a mutation in the VCP gene. The authors emphasize the importance of genetic testing and imaging in diagnosing neurological disorders and highlight the heterogeneity of VCP-related disorders. [Extracted from the article]
