“I See Them Sitting on My Bed, Doctor”
View through CrossRef
Many movement disorders specialists would consider dementia with Lewy bodies to be on one end of a spectrum of presentations associated with Lewy body pathology. Parkinson’s disease with preserved cognition sits at the other end of the spectrum, and over time it can be associated with a greater cortical Lewy body burden and related cognitive impairment. It is unclear what determines to what degree cognitive impairment is involved in a given patient, and the arbitrary time-based division between Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies is imperfect, although it serves to help recognition of this group of patients in whom management needs to be appropriately tailored.
