Introduction[edit | edit source]
The term “Pick’s Disease” (PiD) was named after Arnold Pick for his initial description of focal gross atrophy of the frontotemporal lobes in a patient with progressive language and behavioral disturbances [1]. Pick’s disease is a rare neurodegenerative disorder, estimated to be 10 times less frequent than Alzheimer’s disease, even in regions with high prevalence. It was first clinically described by Pick in 1892 in a woman with lobar brain atrophy who suffered from pre-senile dementia with dysphasia [2].
