ABSTRACT

The six patients were identified through the Memory and Cognitive Disorders Clinic at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, UK, where they were seen by a senior neurologist (JRH), a senior psychiatrist, and a clinical neuropsychologist. In addition to clinical assessment, all patients were given a number of standard psychiatric rating scales to exclude major functional disorders such as depression and schizophrenia. They all underwent MRJ scanning together with the usual battery of screening blood tests to exclude treatable causes of dementia.
