By their usual definitions, childhood dementias always cause global neurocognitive decline. In some childhood dementia conditions the child's early development is indistinguishable from their healthy peers, then slows or plateaus before declining. In other childhood dementia disorders, early development may be slower than typical before declining.
The hallmark symptom of LATE is a progressive memory loss that predominantly affects short-term and episodic memory. [1] This impairment is often severe enough to interfere with daily functioning and usually remains the chief neurologic deficit, unlike other types of dementia in which non-memory cognitive domains and behavioral changes might be noted earlier or more prominently.

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a type of dementia, a group of diseases involving progressive neurodegeneration of the central nervous system. [11] It is one of the two Lewy body dementias, along with Parkinson's disease dementia. [12] Dementia with Lewy bodies can be classified in other ways.
Neurocognitive disorders include delirium, mild neurocognitive disorders, and major neurocognitive disorder (also known as dementia). They are defined by deficits in cognitive ability that are acquired (as opposed to developmental), typically represent decline, and may have an underlying brain pathology. [ 1 ]
CDD is a rare condition, with only 1.7 cases per 100,000. [13] [14] [15]A child affected with childhood disintegrative disorder shows normal development. Up until this point, the child has developed normally in the areas of language skills, social skills, comprehension skills, and has maintained those skills for about two years.
The vagueness of some aspects of the syndrome has led researchers to test for it in a non-clinical sample. The results show that some dysexecutive behaviours are part of everyday life, and the symptoms exist to varying degrees in everyone. [20] For example, absent-mindedness and lapses in attention are common everyday occurrences for most ...
