Quiz zum Vortrag
What is the pathophysiology of vascular dementia?
- Chronic ischemia possibly superimposed on multiple acute infarcts, leading to progressive cognitive disease
- Accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, leading to progressive cognitive disease
- Accumulation of alpha-synuclein in occipital and temporal regions, leading to progressive cognitive disease
- Repetitive trauma-induced lissencephaly, leading to progressive cognitive decline
Most forms of dementia follow a progressive linear development of symptoms over time. How does vascular dementia typically present?
- Stepwise progression of symptoms
- Undulating course: "one step forward, two steps back"
- Progressive linear decline over time
- Rapid decline followed by a relative plateau of symptoms
In terms of the timing of onset of memory impairment, how can a clinician distinguish between Alzheimer disease and vascular dementia?
- In vascular dementia, memory impairment is often seen late. In Alzheimer disease, memory impairment is often seen early.
- In vascular dementia, memory impairment is often seen early. In Alzheimer disease, memory impairment is often seen late.
- They are difficult to distinguish, as both have variable-onset memory impairment.
- Both display memory impairment late in the disease course.
Which variant of vascular dementia may present as a progressive, rather than a stepwise, decline in cognitive function?
- Subcortical vascular dementia
- Single-infarct dementia
- Multi-infarct dementia
