Dementia, Vascular

Description

Vascular dementia (previously known as multi-infarct dementia) was first mentioned by Thomas Willis in 1672. It was later further described in the late 19th century by Binswanger and Alzheimer as a separate entity from dementia paralytica caused by neurosyphillis. This concept has evolved tremendously since the advent of neuroimaging modalities.
Synonym(s): Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI); Vascular cognitive disorder (VCD); Arteriosclerotic dementia; Post-stroke dementia; Senile dementia due to hardening of the arteries; Binswanger disease.
