title: [Cerebral atrophy and dementia in Parkinson disease].
abstract: The intellectual impairment appearing during the Parkinson's disease has been analysed and compared with the severity of the motor deficit respectively with the presence of the cerebral atrophy determined by computed tomography. The organic mental syndrome was more frequently observed in males and well correlated with the degree of cortical and subcortical atrophy.
