Right temporal variant of frontotemporal dementia is a less common subtype of frontotemporal lobar degeneration,
Two distinct pathologic subtypes have been identified with differing clinical presentation. One is a tauopathy, which clinically maps to a similar presentation to behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia, whilst the second has TDP-43 pathology and more closely resembles language variant frontotemporal dementia 7.

Neurodegenerative diseases are legion and their classification just as protean. A useful approach is to divide them according to underlying pathological process, although even using this schema, there is much overlap and thus resulting confusion.
