Abstract

We report the case of a bipolar I patient who was diag-nosed with frontotemporal dementia at the age of 54during a manic episode. Her neurological state im-proved when this episode ended. Each subsequentthymic relapse was associated with cognitive deficitswhich subsided when the patient became euthymic,even though SPECT continued to show the samefrontal hypoperfusion. We here discuss the hypothesisthat the cognitive reserve of this patient, a former jour-nalist, may, except during her mood episodes, haveprovided her with sufficient resources to meet her lifedemands despite her underlying neurological disorder
