Abstract
The urinary excretion of HVA has been found to be decreased in a group of demented patients compared with that in a mentally-alert group. VMA excretion was similar in both groups. The possibility of treatment of certain cases of dementia with L-Dopa is discussed. A further larger study is planned.Keywords
