Neurodegenerative disorders such as Pick's disease, Jacob-Creutzfeld disease, infections including neurosyphilis and AIDs, toxins, metabolic disorders and vasculitis contribute to a growing list of causes of dementia. The etiology of dementia is unknown in as many as 5 per cent of cases after postmortem examination. |
