RiskFactors.Aging,femalesex,andtheAPOE4allelearewell-establishednon-modifiableriskfactors.

The same factors that raise the risk of cardiovascular disease (e.g., hypertension, metabolic
syndrome,andhyperglycemia)
Ahistoryoftraumaticbraininjury

Some drugs with anticholinergic activity (e.g., antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anti-Parkinson
drugs)

ClinicalPresentationandDiagnosis.ADtypicallypresentswiththeinsidiousprogressionofmemory

languagedeficitsandchangesinpersonalityandbehavior.Patientsmayexhibitimpairedjudgment,
confusion,disorientation,depression,anxiety,and—ultimately—delusionsandhallucinations.Some
patientsmaydevelopprofoundapathy,othersagitation,andstillothersalternatingperiodsofonewiththe

SupportiveTherapies.Socialsupportsystems(forboththepatientandthepatient’scaregivers)are
paramount.Antipsychotics(oftenquetiapine)andantidepressants(selectiveserotoninreuptakeinhibitors
[SSRIs]andserotoninandnorepinephrinereuptakeinhibitors[SNRIs])canbeusedtohelpmanage
behavioralsymptoms.Nocomplementaryoralternativetherapieshavebeenfoundtoofferanysignificant

ThereareseveralhallmarkfeaturesofDLBthatcanmakeiteasytorecognizeandthatdistinguishit
fromotherformsofdementia:
Featuresofparkinsonism,asjustdiscussed.
Fluctuatinglevel of cognition.Patientsoften displayvaryinglevels ofattentionandalertness over
the courseoftheday.Butunfortunately, aswith the otherdementias, the naturalhistory ofDLB is
ultimatelyoneofrelentlessprogression.
Earlyandprominent visualhallucinations.Lilliputian hallucinations—inwhichpatients see nonthreateningtinypeopleandanimals—areclassicforDLB,butmoreabstracthallucinationscanoccur
aswell.VisualhallucinationsinADarerare.
Anxietyisalsocommon,andnewonsetofanxiety(oftenfluctuatingaswell)laterinlifeshouldprompt
considerationofDLB.
Treatment.Treatmentissymptomatic;aswiththeotherdementias,notreatmenthasbeenshowntomodify
thecourseofthedisease.PatientswithDLBaredeficientinbothcholinergicanddopaminergicactivity.
Therefore,anticholinesteraseinhibitorsareoftenusedwithsomemodestsuccess,andlevodopacanbe
helpfulfortheparkinsonianfeatures(althoughitisoftenlesseffectivethanwithidiopathicParkinson
disease).Antipsychoticmedicationscanbeconsideredinpatientswithseverepsychosis,butkeepin
mindthatthesemedicationsactasdopamineantagonistsandcanthereforeworsenparkinsonian
symptoms.Interestingly,levodopa—whentitratedcarefully—isusuallywelltoleratedanddoesnotseem
tosignificantlyexacerbatepsychoticfeatures.
LifeexpectancyislessthanhalfthatofpatientswithAD.
