Abstract
Dementia is a frequent cause of memory loss with aging. The incidence of complex partial seizures sharply rises after age 60. Complex partial seizures that occur with subtle clinical signs or loss of awareness, or occur during sleep may defy identification. We report five elderly patients fearing dementia in whom memory dysfunction was due to unrecognized complex partial seizures.Entities:
