Abstract
Dementia is a chronic cognitive decline affecting all domains of cognition with an unfavorable outcome, observed in both dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease (PD). These two conditions belong to the group of alpha-synucleinopathies. In DLB and PD, attention, goal-directed activity, visual-spatial orientation, visual-constructive ability, and memory are affected. The similarity of the profile of cognitive impairment in PD with dementia and DTL leads to some difficulties in the diagnosing of these two diseases. Using their own observations, the authors have demonstrated that an important aspect in making the correct diagnosis is objective information from relatives and analysis of the available medical records.
