ABSTRACT
Through deinstitutionalization, more adults with mental retardation are living in the community under the care of family physicians. Patients with Down syndrome are at high risk for early Alzheimer's disease. This case report describes a 43-year-old woman with Down syndrome whose progressive functional decline over 3 years was attributed to dementia of the Alzheimer type.
