Resumen
Introducción: la demencia vascular es un síndrome adquirido y persistente causado por lesiones netamente vasculares a nivel del sistema nervioso central, alterando las funciones del intelecto y la cognición, indispensables para el equilibrio biológico, psicológico y social. Objetivo: describir los avances reciente en demencia vascular; criterios diagnósticos, factores predisponentes, epidemiología, neuropatología, perfil neurocognitivo y psiquiátrico y abordaje terapéutico integral. Metodología de búsqueda: revisión actualizada de la literatura, mediante búsqueda automatizada de artículos recientes en revistas indexadas en base de datos biomédicas, durante los meses de marzo a mayo del 2012. Resultados: se encontraron 55 artículos con información actualizada que consolidan los objetivos de la revisión. Conclusiones: la demencia vascular ha asumido un rol mórbido, especialmente en la población geriátrica, a consecuencia de la alta prevalencia de enfermedades cerebro-cardio vasculares; por lo cual su prevención, diagnóstico, tratamiento y rehabilitación deben ser prioridad en la práctica clínica, dada la importancia de la salud mental en esta población que en Colombia ha sido subvalorada.
