Vascular Dementia Link??

Swansea, UK

Is there any known link between epilepsy and vascular dementia? I've done a quick Google search and not come up with much.

As far as I'm aware from my surgeon and consultant there isn't. Epilepsy and the medications we use does cause memory problems which I've had but it's nothing like dementia.
