Özet

Introduction: Hoarding behaviour, which is generally defined as collecting and keeping unnecessary, cheap objects or things that can not be used, is more common in elderly than young people. The prevelance of hoarding behaviour in dementia was reported as 22%. In this paper, three different types of dementia cases are presented in order to emphasize the clinical awareness for hoarding disorder, which is common in the elderly, especially those with dementia.
