Case vignette A 62-year-old man in good general health (no hypertension, no history of substance abuse) introduced himselfto the outpatient unit of a neurology department accompanied by his wife. He was seen by a neurologist, a psychologist and a speech therapist. Asked about his problems, he and his wife reported that his ‘memory’ had deteriorated and that he had difficulty finding the correct words. Questioned in more detail, his wife noted that his difficulty with ‘memory’ affected mainly words and names but that, in general, his knowledge of events in the recent past appeared preserved. His wife recalled that the initial complaint, which was also noted by their children, concerned problems finding the correct words, using descriptions, occasionally using a related, but wrong, word and occasional confusion over the meaning of words. There had been several occasions in which she had asked him to get her some fruit and he had picked the wrong fruit at the shop. The family had the impression that their father’s condition was worsening, although he continued to use his car without ever getting lost or putting anyone in danger. The family lived in an area in which a new shopping mall was being built. On being asked about that project, the patient reported, albeit with several hesitations, word-finding difficulties and circumlocutions, that the mall was to host more than forty different shops and would also include three restaurants and a movie theatre. He said that there had been a recent delay of the opening date and that there had been concerns about local businesses losing customers. He also reported that he had attended the foundation stone ceremony two months earlier and that the mayor and thestate’s governor had been there.
