A type of dementia: Vd differs from alzheimer's in that it may have a sudden onset and stabilize there or only advance with further vascular incidents. The signs might not be memory, but loss of function of the area injured by the 'stroke'. Ask the doctor to explain what he means so you and she can both understand if possible. Good luck.
