Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vascular dementia is caused by a series of small strokes or other conditions that damage blood vessels in the brain. This fits with Maurice's situation where he has suffered a series of small strokes causing small amounts of damage to his brain. Ischemic and singular-infarct dementia are also related to strokes, but they refer to specific types of strokes rather than a series of them. Myocardial dementia is not a recognized type of dementia.
