Presbyophrenia is characterized by memory impairment, disorientation, confabulation, hypomanic features, and a preserved social facade. These occur in the absence of prior history of alcoholism or affective illness. We present three cases with presbyophrenia and suggest that the syndrome is a recognizable subtype of dementia, possibly related to disruption of aminergic pathways in frontal and subcortical structures.
老年期精神错乱的特征为记忆障碍、定向障碍、虚构、轻躁狂特征以及保留社交表象。这些症状出现在无酗酒或情感障碍病史的情况下。我们报告三例老年期精神错乱病例，并认为该综合征是一种可识别的痴呆亚型，可能与额叶和皮质下结构中胺能通路的破坏有关。
