Abstract

This study aimed at describing uncommon or bizarre symptoms observed in patients suffering from dementia. Medline and Google scholar searches were conducted for relevant articles, chapters, and books published since 1967. Search terms used included uncommon presentation, behavioural and psychological symptoms, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and fronto-temporal dementia. Publications found through this indexed search were reviewed for further relevant references. The uncommon symptoms are described as case-reports and there are no systematic investigations. Bizarre behaviours arising late in life should be thoroughly investigated as symptoms of dementia.
