Multi-infarct dementia: a computed tomographic study.
CT Scan of 30 patients with multi-infarct dementia (MID) were compared with age- and sex-matched controls. Infarcts were seen in 93% of MID cases and 10% of controls. A marked difference in the occurrence of white matter low attenuation was seen between the groups. All the parameters of cerebral atrophy studied showed a statistically significant correlation with the presence of dementia.
