   Abstract   
      
   Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) was one of the lesser known dementias until the   
   recent advancements revealing its genetic and pathological foundation. This   
   common neurodegenerative disorder has three clinical subtypes- behavioral,   
   semantic and progressive    
   non fluent aphasia. The behavioral variant mostly exhibits personality   
   changes, while the other two encompass various language deficits. This review   
   discusses the basic pathology, genetics, clinical and histological   
   presentation and the diagnosis of the    
   3 subtypes. It also deliberates the different therapeutic modalities currently   
   available for frontotemporal dementia and the challenges faced by the   
   caregivers. Lastly it explores the scope of further research into the   
   diagnosis and management of FTD.
