type of dementia ;-
• Dementia + sensory Ataxia + PNP(polyneuropathy) + UMN(babinski's sign) = B12 deficiency
• Dementia + cerebellar ataxia + ophtalmoplegia = B1 def (Wernicke's syndrome)
• Dementia + high cholesterol = hypothyroidism
• Dementia + myoclonus = Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
• Dementia + gait apraxia + urinary incontinence = NPH (non-pressure hydrocephalus)
• Dementia with stepwise progression + pseudobulbar palsy(PBP) = Binswanger's disease (vascular dementia)
• Dementia + PBP + gaze abnormality + torticollis = PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy)
• Dementia + chorea= Huntington's disease
• Dementia + Parkinsonism + syncopal attack = Shy-Drager syndrome (multiple system atrophy)
• Dementia that is fluctuating + Parkinsonism= Lewy body dementia
• Dementia with sparing visuospatial skills + personality change = Frontotemporal dementia
• Dementia + sensory Ataxia + PNP(polyneuropathy) + UMN(babinski's sign) = B12 deficiency
• Dementia + cerebellar ataxia + ophtalmoplegia = B1 def (Wernicke's syndrome)
• Dementia + high cholesterol = hypothyroidism
• Dementia + myoclonus = Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
• Dementia + gait apraxia + urinary incontinence = NPH (non-pressure hydrocephalus)
