They have consequences on patients’ treatments and outcome. They are particularly frequent for frontal (or behavioral) variant of frontotemporal dementia (fv-FTD). In 2011, an update of fv-FTD criteria was proposed by experts focusing on five behavioral symptoms: disinhibition, apathy and inertia, loss of empathy, perseverative behaviors, and finally eating disorders. Scales to assess behavioral problems are numerous. Thus, the Frontotemporal Behavioral Rating Scale is helpful for diagnosis in clinical practice but cannot be used for monitoring. The Neuropsychiatric Inventory is still widely used, but does not address this specific FTD population, particularly for prospective monitoring. The Frontal Behavioral Inventory (FBI) is useful to discriminate bv-FTD from other dementias. Less known scales combine behavioral assessment and autonomy. Frontal Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (FTD-CDR) seems promising because it adds to the classic CDR a language field and a behavioral field.
