Summary

Dementia and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

The case-histories of two patients are presented with Amyo-trofic Lateral Sclerosis and dementia (ALS-D), followed by a discussion of recent literature on this topic. This condition can be considered as the interface between non-Alzheimer frontal lobe dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The nosological classification of the ALS-D complex has not been established yet.
