==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Dementia | Dementia is an acquired cognitive impairment in different cognitive areas such as attention, learning, memory, language, executive function, and motor function. Dementia may be classified according to the etiology into 5 groups including neurodegenerative, vascular, infectious, drug-related, and metabolic. The most common causes of dementia include [[alzheimer's disease|alzheimer's Disease]], [[parkinson's disease|parkinson's Disease]], [[binswanger's disease|binswanger's Disease]], [[dementia with Lewy bodies]], [[frontotemporal lobar degeneration]],[[thiamine deficiency]],[[vitamin B12 deficiency]], [[vitamin B6 deficiency]], [[vascular dementia]], [[marijuana abuse]], [[HIV AIDS|AIDS]] | ||
[[neurosyphilis]], and [[normal pressure hydrocephalus]]. | |||

Overview
Dementia is an acquired cognitive impairment in different cognitive areas such as attention, learning, memory, language, executive function, and motor function. Dementia may be classified according to the etiology into 5 groups including neurodegenerative, vascular, infectious, drug-related, and metabolic. The most common causes of dementia include alzheimer's Disease, parkinson's Disease, binswanger's Disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal lobar degeneration,thiamine deficiency,vitamin B12 deficiency, vitamin B6 deficiency, vascular dementia, marijuana abuse, AIDS neurosyphilis, and normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Classification
Dementia may be classified according to the etiology into 5 groups including neurodegenerative, vascular, infectious, drug-related, and metabolic.
Causes
Dementia may be caused by:
- Alzheimer's Disease
- Parkinson's Disease
- Binswanger's Disease
- Dementia with Lewy bodies
- Frontotemporal lobar degeneration
- Thiamine deficiency
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Vitamin B6 deficiency
- Vascular dementia
- Marijuana abuse
- AIDS
- Neurosyphilis
- Normal pressure hydrocephalus
Differential Diagnosis
Dementia causes must be differentiated from each other: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
