[Cranial computerized tomography in senile dementia].
Axial tomograpum (CAT), of 59 patients with dementia and 102 controls suffering from headaches and dizziness were examined. The CAT was normal in 13 demented patients (22%) and in 37 controls (36,3%), and revealed enlarged spaces of the CSF in 46 anoic patients (78%) and 65 controls (63.7%). Multiple areas of subnormal density were observed in 23 anoic patients (39%) and in 6 controls (5.9%). This indicates that the multi infarct syndrome is frequently associated with dementia, while the correlations between Hydrocephalus and dementia is weak.
