Extract

Despite controversy about whether cerebral arteriosclerosis is a valid clinical entity and independent of senile dementia and/or ‘functional’ senile psychoses (Post, 1971), there is a good reason for differentiating it in clinical practice, and its incidence is increasing (Registrar General, 1960).
