Dementia due to metabolic abnormalities – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/99837268

Dementia due to primary metabolic disorders involving the brain such as an adrenoleukodystrophy, Wilson's disease or MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes) and there is evidence from history, physical examination, or laboratory findings that the disturbance is caused by the direct physiological consequences of the metabolic disorder. The identified etiology should be classified separately.
