Various psychiatric and neurological diseases are misdiagnosed as frontotemporal dementia and vice versa. Here we present a case with right temporal variant of frontotemporal dementia who presented with alcohol dependency and remarkable behavioral symptoms and was first misdiagnosed as having alcohol-related dementia. He then revealed symptoms related to right temporal variant of frontotemporal dementia, such as prosopagnosia, difficulty recognizing his housemates, loss of empathy, ritualistic behaviors, and difficulty finding and comprehending words. Retrospectively, his alcohol dependency itself was considered an early manifestation of right temporal variant of frontotemporal dementia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jad-210501","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,27]],"date-time":"2021-07-27T13:16:53Z","timestamp":1627391813000},"page":"531-537","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Putative Alcohol-Related Dementia as an Early Manifestation of Right Temporal Variant of Frontotemporal Dementia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Michitaka","family":"Funayama","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuropsychiatry, Ashikaga Red Cross Hospital, Ashikaga-City, Tochigi, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asuka","family":"Nakajima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Ashikaga Red Cross Hospital, Tochigi, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shin","family":"Kurose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuropsychiatry, Ashikaga Red Cross Hospital, Ashikaga-City, Tochigi, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taketo","family":"Takata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuropsychiatry, Ashikaga Red Cross Hospital, Ashikaga-City, Tochigi, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-210501_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1973","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e318293e368","article-title":"Interrater reliability of the new criteria for behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia","volume":"80","author":"LaMarre","year":"2013","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"10.3233\/JAD-210501_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"445","DOI":"10.3233\/JAD-180524","article-title":"Frontotemporal dementia misdiagnosed for post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome or vice versa?
