Early Alzheimer's disease or dementia from another cause?
Abstract
It is unusual for Alzheimer's disease to present with focal neurologic abnormalities. Most patients have generalized and progressive dementia without signs of systemic disease. Perhaps the most characteristic feature is the absence of significant medical or focal neurologic abnormalities in the presence of severe dementia.
