Visual Evoked

The use of the flash and pattern reversal visual evoked potential (VEP) in the diagnosis of primary presenile dementia was investigated. The results from 20 patients with primary presenile dementia were compared with those from a control group of normals of equivalent age and from a control group of 20 patients with cortical atrophy but no dementia. Presenile dementia caused a slowing of the major positive (P2) component of the VEP to flash stimulation. However, the VEP to pattern reversal stimulation (P100) was of normal latency. The difference between these two latencies characterises this unusual combination of results and is found to be a more specific diagnostic indicator of primary presenile dementia than the EEG or CT scan.

Presenile Dementia

This class contains sixty-five cases of presenile dementia–i.e., of insanity ending in dementia, and occurring between the periods of maturity and of senility. Of the 728 cases of insanity under consideration, the present class, therefore, includes 9 per cent., and of the 445 cases of dementia 14.6 per cent. Though attention has already been drawn to the distinction which is necessarily made between “presenility,” an age-period in all individuals, and “prematurely induced senility,” it is perhaps permissible to remark here that cases of the latter type have been included in the class of “senile or ‘ worn-out ‘ dementia,” which was described and illustrated in the last section of this paper.
