Logopenic progressive aphasia

Overview
Logopenic progressive aphasia (LPA) is a form of primary progressive aphasia characterized by slow speech and impaired syntactic comprehension and naming. It is similar to Wernicke's aphasia and is associated with atrophy to the left posterior temporal cortex and inferior parietal lobule. It is suspected that an atypical form of Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of logopenic progressive aphasia.
