NEUROPATHOLOGY, CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE & TRAUMA “Alzheimer’s is the cleverest thief, because she not only steals from you, but she steals the very thing you need to remember what’s been stolen” - Jaord Kintz EMQ – DEMENTIA ° A 75yr man with a previous history of a CABG and fem-pop bypass. His memory has been deteriorating steadily over the last year or so, with a marked deterioration just after the Christmas period ° A 75yr man complains that he is losing his memory, and his wife says that he tends to be better in the evening. He also has mobility problems, and now finds it difficult to complete tasks like making a cup of tea before the water goes cold. Histology – alpha synuclein deposits in cortex ° A 75 year old retired vicar is brought to see his GP by his concerned wife. Her concern was his behaviour over the last few months, he was becoming quite verbally abusive, recently calling his son a “massive wanker” at Christmas Dinner. Histology – Neuronal Tau Bodies arranged spherically A. Alzheimar’s Disease D. Multi-infarct dementia B. Pick’s disease E. Normal pressure C.
