A member asked:
Does posterior cortical atrophy progress into general dementia? please, need some answers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: It is not known whether PCA is a variant of Alzheimer's or not as the symptoms are very similar.In PCA the atrophy starts in the back of the brain rather than a global atrophy.
