  • Summary

    Readers are presented with 19 case examples of atypical Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias, and conditions resembling dementia. Each case comes with a summary of cognitive and functional assessment results, complaints by informants, clinical history, laboratory examinations indicated, diagnosis, and management, followed by insights from both medical and psychosocial perspectives. These are organised around the following themes: cases illustrative of when imaging and further observation are needed; cases that may be referred to as ‘pseudodementia’, and cases where a decision to refer on may be needed.
