Clinical studies of epilepsy in 137 patients of old age demonstrated that epileptical dementia preserves its nozological specificity. In genuine epilepsy it was not possible to detect symptoms of cerebral atherosclerosis, while in symptomatical epilepsy there were definite signs of arteriosclerotic dementia. Convulsive seizeures in old age become less frequent and are substituted by abortive and psychomotor elementary seizures or are arrested altogether. Epileptic equivalents lose their specifity.

A clinicoanatomical study was conducted in 218 cases of atherosclerotic dementia. 12 cases (5,5% of the total amount) showed diagnostic errors. Atherosclerotic dementia with Alzhemier-like symptomatology during life was considered to be Alzheimers disease, while Alzheimers disease, complicated by cerebral atherosclerosis as atherosclerotic dementia. Some objective and subjective factors of diagnostic errors were established. Late detection of such patients is considered as one of the risk factors of diagnostic errors during life.
