Dementia in Clinical Practice: A Neurological Perspective

Abstract

This chapter examines the various cognitive syndromes (e.g. amnesia, aphasia, agnosia) which may be defined by clinical assessment and investigation, as a prelude to establishing aetiological diagnosis. It also examines various comorbidities which may be encountered in dementia disorders, including behavioural and neuropsychiatric features, delirium, epilepsy and sleep-related disorders.
