Vascular DementiaAka: Multi-infarct Dementia
- Pathophysiology
- Dementia associated with multiple strokes
- Symptoms depend on infarction location
- Cerebral cortex
- Thalamus
- Basal ganglia
- Hippocampus
- Signs
- Impaired memory and altered behavior
- Depends on infarction distribution
Multi-infarct dementia (C0011263) | |
|---|---|
| Definition (MSH) | Loss of higher cortical functions with retained awareness due to multiple cortical or subcortical CEREBRAL INFARCTION. Memory, judgment, attention span, and impulse control are often impaired, and may be accompanied by PSEUDOBULBAR PALSY; HEMIPARESIS; reflex abnormalities, and other signs of localized neurologic dysfunction. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1060) |
| Definition (CSP) | dementia, due to significant cerebrovascular disease, with a stepwise deteriorating course and a 'patchy' distribution of neurologic deficits. |
| Concepts | Disease or Syndrome (T047) |

Dementia, Vascular (C0011269) | |
|---|---|
| Definition (MSH) | An imprecise term referring to dementia associated with CEREBROVASCULAR DISORDERS, including CEREBRAL INFARCTION (single or multiple), and conditions associated with chronic BRAIN ISCHEMIA. Diffuse, cortical, and subcortical subtypes have been described. (From Gerontol Geriatr 1998 Feb;31(1):36-44) |
