Correlate the following classic clinical symptom constellations with their most appropriate neurocognitive disorder diagnosis.
- Fluctuating cognition, early prominent visual hallucinations, and spontaneous parkinsonismDementia with Lewy bodies
- Stepwise cognitive decline, focal neurological deficits, and evidence of cerebrovascular diseaseVascular dementia
- Early personality changes, significant behavioral disinhibition, and prominent apathyFrontotemporal dementia
- Progressive cognitive impairment, broad-based gait apraxia, and urinary incontinenceNormal pressure hydrocephalus
Cevap
The correct pairings match each classic symptom constellation to its distinct etiology: visual hallucinations and parkinsonism indicate Dementia with Lewy bodies; stepwise decline with focal deficits points to Vascular dementia; early personality changes and disinhibition suggest Frontotemporal dementia; and the triad of gait apraxia, urinary incontinence, and dementia characterizes Normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Each neurocognitive disorder has a distinct classic presentation: Dementia with Lewy bodies presents with visual hallucinations and parkinsonism; Vascular dementia presents with stepwise decline and focal deficits; Frontotemporal dementia presents with early personality changes; and Normal pressure hydrocephalus presents with the triad of gait impairment, incontinence, and dementia.
