Abstract
Posterior cortical atrophy, also called Benson's syndrome or visual variant of Alzheimer's disease, refers to a constellation of neurodegenerative features associated with Alzheimer's disease. The authors describe an unusual case of a patient diagnosed with this condition in addition to paranoid schizophrenia, in a forensic low secure unit. The focus of the article is on the distinctiveness of the presentation, the heterogeneity of symptoms and difficulties encountered in the diagnostic formulation process.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
