- Abstract
Dementia is estimated to affect 55 million people worldwide. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, but a variety of other conditions can also cause dementia. In this case report, we present a patient who experienced severe cognitive deterioration over 3 months. When we saw her at our clinic, she could barely remember her birthday, had trouble finding words, suffered from apraxia, was very tired, and her personality had changed. She was immediately hospitalized, and scan revealed dural arteriovenous fistula. The fistula was closed with endovascular surgery, and the patient regained most of her cognitive function.
