Early and presenting symptoms of dementia with lewy bodies.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND/AIMS:To explore the presenting and early symptoms of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). METHOD:Patients with mild dementia fulfilling diagnostic criteria for DLB (n = 61) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) (n = 109) were recruited from outpatient dementia clinics in western Norway. At diagnosis, caregivers were asked which symptom had been the presenting symptom of dementia. RESULTS:Caregivers reported that memory impairment was the most common presenting symptom in DLB (57%), followed by visual hallucinations (44%), depression (34%), problem solving difficulties (33%), gait problems (28%), and tremor/stiffness (25%). In contrast, 99% of AD carers reported impaired memory as a presenting symptom, whereas visual hallucinations were a presenting symptom in 3% of the AD cases. CONCLUSION:DLB should be suspected in predementia cases with visual hallucinations.
