##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish the non-linguistic neuropsychological profile of variants of Primary Progressive Aphasia, through a systematic review of the literature of the last 5 years. The systematic and advanced manual search was carried out in the databases Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar to identify the studies that describe the non- linguistic neuropsychological profile of the variants of Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA), inclusion and exclusion criteria were established for the selection of articles, their quality and relevance were evaluated. The systematic review yielded 7 084 articles, of which 131 were pre-selected as reported in the summary and 26 validated for full reading. Nineteen articles were used for the narrative synthesis. PPA variants present with neurocognitive deficits outside the language domain, this underlines the importance of a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation that provides additional information to the consensus criteria already established for the evaluation of the PPA.
