Multi-infarct dementia: prevention and treatment
Alzheimer Dis Assoc Disord.
1991 Summer.
Abstract
Multi-infarct dementia (MID) characteristically presents with an acute event followed by a stepwise and fluctuating downhill course. Progression is generally considered the consequence of recurrent stroke (Hachinski, 1983): the mainstay of treatment, therefore, is the prevention of further ischemic events.
