Abstract
Urinary incontinence is a marker of early vascular dementia, [7] and it is a secondary item in the two recent proposals of criteria for the clinical diagnosis of vascular dementia, [8,9] and in the clinical criteria of ``Binswanger's disease.'' [10] However, early incontinence could be also present in Alzheimer's disease (AD) with associated vascular lesions or in other dementing illnesses and could mislead in the identification of vascular dementia.
