Although at first it transpired that Edgardo Bauza suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, his son Maximiliano clarified on Thursday that in truth what he has is temporofrontal dementia, a delicate neurodegenerative disease. The 64-year-old former coach retired at the end of 2021 from professional activity, and now his son gave details about the health of the idol of San Lorenzo and Rosario Central: “My old man is fine, he is contained. He is calm, we are taking care of him, especially Marisa (his current partner), who is there, in Quito. Let them stay calm, he is taken care of.” He added: “Out of the ring, but going through this. We all hurt what is happening, but we have to accept it and accompany it, be with it”, in dialogue with the partisan program of San Lorenzo La Cicloneta. My old man is having a moment of delicate health. It is a neurodegenerative disease. It’s not Alzheimer’s, it’s temporofrontal dementia. But it’s very good, beware. Together we are accompanying and enjoying it. He’s not suffering,” Maximiliano explained about the news that impacted the world of football.
What is temporofrontal dementia
According to the specialized site medlineplus.gov, “frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a rare and permanent form of dementia similar to Alzheimer’s disease, except that it tends to affect only certain areas of the brain.”
