The clinical manifestation of cognitive deficit in an elderly patient

Abstract

RELEVANCE. The mental disorders in the elderly are an urgent topic, as they are promoted by vascular diseases, neuron death and degenerative-dystrophic changes in the cerebral cortex. They are characterized by a wide range of manifestations and are sometimes detected late. Often, the versatility and unpredictability of their manifestations causes practitioners great difficulties in timely diagnosis and treatment tactics.
