Lewy body dementia, comprising both dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD), in under-diagnosed but is important to recognise because of its different symptom profile and outcome. There are some effective treatments for Lewy body dementia and its symptoms, but there is considerable heterogeneity in approaches to management. This lecture will update current thinking on how and why to improve both diagnosis and management.
