Gemma Illingworth was just 28 when she was diagnosed with PCA (posterior cortical atrophy). This is a reminder that dementia is not just a senior disease, and we should all be evaluated as early as possible if cognitive complaints occur. https://t.co/Cn0uOb3lfO
Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a rare form of #dementia that mostly affects the parts of the brain that process visual and spatial information.

Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), also known as Benson's syndrome, is a rare degenerative condition in which damage occurs at the back (posterior region) of the brain. In the vast majority of people, the cause of PCA is Alzheimer's disease
