Abstract
A patient is described who showed slowly progressive apraxia not associated with other neuropsychological dysfunctions. The onset of symptoms began at age 60 years, and the duration of illness was 5 years. A further 12-month neuropsychological follow-up study failed to show any evolution of memory and other cognitive disorders. MRI revealed diffuse cortical atrophy with a very marked bilateral involvement of the parietal structures. The patient is considered as presenting slowly progressive apraxia without dementia, a syndrome that seems to be distinguishable from dementia of Alzheimer''s type.
