Representative brain MRI lesions in patients with HipFx.
T2-FLAIR axial image. A. Alzheimer’s disease-type: significant atrophy of the para-hippocampal gyrus. B. Asymptomatic multiple ischemic cerebral lesions: multiple high signal intensity lesions in the white matter. C. Binswanger’s disease-type: extensive white matter lesions. D. Past symptomatic cerebral infarction: large low signal intensity lesion in the right temporal lobe. E. DESH (disproportionately enlarged subaracahnoid space hydrocephalus): enlargement of the ventricular and the Sylvian fissure F. Chronic subdural hematoma: crescent-shaped lesions between the dura and arachnoid G. Normal aging: no atrophy or no white matter lesions.

Differential diagnosis of 56 hip fracture patients diagnosed as having dementia.
AD: 20 (36%), vascular dementia: 33 (59%), AD + BW: 3 (5%). Vascular dementia as well as AD is commonly seen in HipFx patients. AD: Alzheimer’s disease, BW: Binswanger’s disease.
