| primary senile dementia | <disease> A progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterised by loss of function and death of nerve cells in several areas of the brain leading to loss of cognitive function such as memory and language.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. (22 May 1997) |
