It affects just one in 100 million people under 30

Horrible for him and his family. But folks should take it easy on the Army docs. With a probability like that, it's not going to show up in any initial differential diagnosis, I don't care how good the doc is. The docs at Mayo clinic probably would've missed it first time around.

Is it something that a brain scan would see? I thought that was a fairly standard thing done with young patients suffering from this kind of dementia.

There is difference between knowing what is wrong with person and saying there is nothing wrong. Is clear this man was sick. What was he sick with? Well, is possible for them not to know that. But first question, whether he is sick or isn't, should be job of doctor to know.
