Multi-infarct dementia(MID)ls a dementing condition produced by cerebral ischemic injury and a heterogenous entity in which a variety of cerebrovascalar disorders are involved. On examination, MID patients exhibit a combination of motor abnormalities, neuropsychological deficits, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Neuropsychiatric abnormalities are frequent in MID : personality changes, depression, lability of mood, and delusions occur regularly, but personality changes are the most common alteration. Thus clinicians may be confused by these neuropsychiatric symptoms.
