Abstract

When diagnosing dementia disorders, obtaining a detailed medical history and identifying relevant findings on physical and neurological examinations are fundamental. It is essential to assess cognitive function, neurological symptoms and signs, and dementia severity; conduct additional tests; and establish a differential diagnosis. With the widespread use of anti-amyloid antibody therapies, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and early-stage AD must not be overlooked. When evaluating patients with dementia who present with diverse symptoms, clinicians must consider neurological signs, findings from diagnostic tests, and the clinical course to establish an accurate diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment.
