| Abstract |
This brief communication describes a case study of a patient, born in 1915, who worked in an aluminium powder mill between 1944 and 1946. Aluminosis was diagnosed in 1946. At the age of 78, he showed clear signs of dementia with no evidence of cerebrovascular disease. Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid revealed a high concentration of aluminium. |
