Eur J Neurol. 2007 Jun;14(6):697-700. doi: 10.1111/j.1468-1331.2007.01753.x.

Abstract

This paper presents for the first time an anterior opercular syndrome in association with a gait disorder, dropped head syndrome, dysphagia, and sialorrhea in a neuropathologically proven case of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin inclusions.
