Dementia is not a specific disease. It is a descriptive term for a collection of symptoms that can be caused by a number of disorders that affect the brain. People with dementia have significantly impaired intellectual functioning that interferes with normal activities and relationships. They also lose their ability to solve problems and maintain emotional control, and they may experience personality changes and behavioral problems, such as agitation, delusions, and hallucinations.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, usually called CADASIL, is an inherited condition that affects small arteries (blood vessels) mainly in the brain. An abnormality in the smooth muscle cells surrounding these blood vessels causes the gradual destruction of these cells, which can lead to migraines, stroke-like episodes, dementia, and other impairments of normal brain function. CADASIL patients are also at increased risk of heart attack (m...
