Dementia in Parkinson’s Disease and Lewy Body Disease

  • Chapter
Dementia

Abstract

Dementia occurs in Parkinson’s disease more commonly than in the general population. It is claimed that cortical and subcortical dementia syndromes can be commonly recognized, and that a variety of pathological lesions are responsible. Some persons presenting with dementia but no Parkinsonism also have the same basic pathological lesions seen in Parkinson’s disease.
