| Summary: | FLS, in the ICD-10 classification of the World Health Organization, is classified as an "organic personality disorder (F07.1)" under the parent classification "Personality and behavioral disorders due to brain disease, damage, and dysfunction (F07)" (WHO 2016). The regions and the symptoms and findings that occur when affected are classified according to these loci. Because of different presentations of the clinical pictures, these clinical pictures are defined under the heading of "Frontal Lobe Syndromes" (Nelson 2018). Features such as abstract thinking, planning, creating categories, and developing reactions against possible stimuli in the present and future are included in this definition (Tunçay 2009). Since the clinical features of the frontal lobe syndrome vary according to the affected area of the frontal lobe, it is necessary to mention the anatomical structures of the frontal lobe and their function. The person with orbitofrontal lobe damage can ignore social rules and misbehave. Besides that, left orbitofrontal circuit lesions are associated with depressive, and right orbitofrontal circuit lesions are associated with elevated mood (Tosun et al. 2009). |
