sounds like she's had a mini 'ISCHEMIC' STROKE. SHE SHOULD HAVE HER EYES TESTED AS SHE COULD HAVE HEMORHAGED BEHIND HER EYE. VASCULAR DEMENTIA IS DUE TO THE BLOOD VESSELS ERUPTING FROM TIME TO TIME OFTEN BEHIND THE EYE BUT I BELIEVE CAN BE ANYWHERE BEHIND AND ABOVE THE EYES. THAT'S WHY IT'S HARD TO ASSESS, THE PROGRESSION IS SLOW AND LASTS FOR YRS. @janicelm

She's had an MRI & MRA which showed "all clear". I will contact an opthamologist immediately to see if an Ischemic stroke could have occurred. Thank you very much for this insight. We are at such a loss.

HI AGAIN, YES, THIS IS HOW IT ALL STARTED WITH MY MOM AT 81. DELIA

MY MOM IS NOW 87

ON THE MAYO SITE, RIGHT HERE, JANICE, THEY HAVE A GOOD VIDEO ON VASCULAR DEMENTIA. WORTH LOOKING AT.
