Features of subcortical dementias
What are the characteristics of subcortical dementias?
Subcortical dementias lack cortical features, such as aphasia, apraxia, and acalculia.
Recall memory is impaired worse than recognition memory. Visuospatial skills are often impaired.
Frontal executive deficits, bradyphrenia, anomia, personality changes, and psychomotor slowing are prominent. Dysarthria, abnormal posture and coordination, and adventitious movements may be present.
