Dementia is a clinical syndrome defined as a cognitive or behavioral decline that leads to an inability to complete daily tasks independently. Rapidly progressive dementias (RPDs) often develop over weeks to months. Although many RPDs are neurodegenerative in etiology, autoimmune, toxic/metabolic, infectious, neoplastic, and vascular processes can cause similar symptoms. As many of these latter processes are treatable, early and accurate diagnosis is important. 2, record 1, English, - rapidly%20progressive%20dementia
