RESUMEN
Presentamos dos casos de demencia de inicio antes de los 65 años de edad con apraxia y manifestaciones visuo-espaciales, en los cuales no hay trastornos de memoria y de la conducta, y con diferentes grados de evolución ademencia. Las imágenes estructurales del cerebro demuestran atrofia parieto-occipital. Ambos casos reúnen los criterios de atrofia cortical posterior (ACP).
ABSTRACT
We present two cases of progressive early, onset dementia with apraxia and visuospatial disability as initial manifestations, in which there is no memory and behavior disorders, and with different degrees of progression to dementia. Structural neuroimaging demonstrated parieto-occipital atrophy. These cases fulfil the diagnostic criteria of posterior cortical atrophy (PCA).
