Abstract

Current concepts on the clinical presentations, diagnosis and treatment of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), that makes up 10% percent of dementia cases, are considered. The nosological status of DLB and the correlation between DLB and Parkinson's disease are reviewed in the historical context. The authors suggest approaches to the formulation of diagnosis and coding of DLB in according to ICD-10. A role of cholinesterase inhibitors, antipsychotic drugs, levodopa, razagiline and other drugs in the treatment of DLB is analyzed.
