Memory Loss

History

A 38-year-old man presents to a neurologist having been referred because of memory loss and difficulty with concentration. He has recently lost his job in a high-street bank because of his increasingly poor performance at work. His wife and friends have noticed the decline in his memory for recent events over the past 6 months. The patient is sleeping poorly and has developed involuntary jerking movements of his limbs especially at night. He appears to his wife to be very short-tempered and careless of his personal appearance. He is married with two children and neither smokes tobacco nor drinks alcohol. He is not taking any regular medication. Aged 15, he received 2 years’ treatment with growth hormone injections because of growth failure.
