Collaboration with the Medical Center for Dementia in Hyogo Medical University Hospital

Abstract

Hyogo Medical University Hospital has a medical center which specializes in dementia treatment. Generally, many facilities often have either psychiatrists or neurologists, but our hospital has two psychiatrists and three neurologists. We can execute specialized tasks by leveraging the expertise of each department. We reported one case in which a psychiatrist diagnosed mild cognitive impairment, but the neuroimaging results indicated the presence of corticobasal syndrome. Since suspicious findings were collected, further scrutiny was carried out at the medical center’s Department of Neurology. Consequently, we undertook this case, which continues to be regularly monitored by both a psychiatrist and a neurologist from their respective departments.
