title: Swedish consensus on dementia diseases.
abstract: This consensus-based document on dementia diseases was worked out in 1988-1990 by Swedish dementia researchers. It comprises classification and nosology of dementia diseases taking into account brain-regional symptomatology and the pattern of degeneration. The significance of history-taking and 'bedside' examination is emphasized. Auxiliary diagnostic investigations are discussed, e.g. neuropsychological examination, brain imaging, and blood and cerebrospinal fluid analyses.
