INTRODUCTION: We consider in this paper the applicability of the FAB in Spain, a battery at bedside devised to assess frontal lobe function and able to identify a dysexecutive syndrome, which takes few minutes to administer, and useful for neuropsychological diagnosis in diseases involving frontal lobe dysfunctions. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We study dual application of FAB and Folstein s MMSE to 195 subjects belonging to 11 subgroups (controls, neurodegenerative disorders and psychiatric conditions), and they were related to: cortical/subcortical normality, cortical/subcortical cognitive impairment, or cortical/subcortical dementia. STATISTICS: mean, standard deviation, U test (p< 0.05) and Pearson s correlation index. CONCLUSIONS: Data suggest FAB reflects in Spanish environment the reality of frontosubcortical deterioration in studied groups. FAB and MMSE showed a variable grade of positive lineal correlation in different diseases.
