PPA other. Patients only fulfilling LPA criteria showed mild, overall atrophy on MRI. Patients with LPA plus revealed more cerebral atrophy, mostly situated at the left temporoparietal side. Patients with PPA other had a heterogeneousatrophy pattern on MRI.

Furthermore, patients with more extended language deficits had more severe left sided cerebral atrophy.
