Overview

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Study of choice

  • There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of Vascular dementia , but Vascular dementia can be diagnosed based on MRI and CT scan.

Name of Diagnostic Criteria

  • There is no single diagnostic study of choice for Vascular dementia, though Vascular dementia may be diagnosed based on DSM-5.[1]
  • The diagnosis of Vascular dementia is based on the DSM-5 criteria, which include:[1]
    • Parenchymal injury attributing to cerebrovascular disease.
    • One or more documented cerebrovascular events.
    • Both clinical and genetic causes.
