Parkinson Symptoms in Dementia with Lewy Bodies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Parkinsonism in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is reviewed. Frequencies of tremor, wearing off, and dyskinesia seem to be lower than those of PD. This may in part due to older age of onset in DLB compared to PD. In addition, the presence of dementia and hallucination may make use of higher doses of levodopa difficult. This may result in lower frequencies of wearing off and dyskinesia. However, not many studies were done to compare parkinsonism in DLB and PD. We do not know how much of DLB patients are suffering from gait disturbance, retropulsion, freezing, falls, camptocormia, Pisa syndrome, drop head, drooling, dysphagia, small voice, micrographia, wearing off, dyskinesia, and so on. Among the non-motor spheres, data on autonomic disturbances, pain, olfaction, fatigue impulse control disorders, and dopamine dysregulation syndromes are spares. Further studies are necessary.
