Abstract
Vascular dementia is the second commonest dementia occurring in the elderly above 65 years. The vascular changes within the brain are suggested to be the main etiologic factor for this type of dementia. Clinically, vascular dementia closely resembles Alzheimer’s dementia. The present literature review focuses on the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology, risk factors and the management of vascular dementia. Keywords: Vascular Dementia, Cognitive Impairment, Neuropathology, Biomarkers
