Dementia and early onset dementia have been associated with neurovisceral porphyrias. Porphyria is listed in textbooks in the differential diagnosis of dementia. Because acute intermittent porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria and variegate porphyria are aggravated by environmental toxins and drugs the disorders should be ruled out when these etiologies are raised.

Overview

Vascular disease is a cause or contributor in 25 to 50 percent of cases of dementia, and vascular dementia is the second most common type of dementia in clinic- and population-based studies[1] A population-based study found that 15 percent of patients who were cognitively impaired but not demented (CIND) were clinically diagnosed with vascular disease as the cause, but autopsy confirmation was not available

Dementia and early onset dementia have been associated with neurovisceral porphyrias. Porphyria is listed in textbooks in the differential diagnosis of dementia. Because acute intermittent porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria and variegate porphyria are aggravated by environmental toxins and drugs the disorders should be ruled out when these etiologies are raised.
