| description | Probable mixed dementia, combining vascular dementia and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), presents diagnostic challenges due to overlapping clinical features and radiological findings. This case report highlights the complexities involved in diagnosing such cases, where clinical manifestations evolve, requiring careful evaluation and periodic reassessment. Imaging plays a crucial role, with characteristic features aiding in distinguishing between different etiologies. Management of mixed dementia poses therapeutic dilemmas, particularly given the lack of effective treatments for PSP. Nonetheless, a comprehensive approach involving education, vascular risk factor control, and family support is essential for optimizing long-term patient and caregiver outcomes. This case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary clinical and radiological approach in navigating the complexities of mixed dementia cases. |
