Possible Cause

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common neuropathologically diagnosed cause of degenerating dementia after Alzheimer's disease. We report the first autopsy-confirmed case in sub-Saharan Africa in a Nigerian patient. The case presented highlights the varied clinical presentation of DLB, and is intended to raise awareness about another possible cause of dementia in Nigerian subjects.

Diagnosis Of Dementia

Objectives: We aim to explore the importance of early diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies in order to facilitate effective psychiatric management. We present a case where delayed diagnosis stemming from an atypical presentation illustrates the complex issues involved in identifying and treating this type of dementia. Conclusions: We discuss the difficulty of diagnosis of this disorder in the absence of obvious memory dysfunction or parkinsonian symptoms. We use the case to draw attention to the limited availability of certain investigations and treatment options in Australia.

Background:Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common form of degenerative dementia after Alzheimer’s disease. In some patients with DLB, relatively rare delusions are known to emerge, such as Othello syndrome, delusional parasitosis and delusion of duplication. Erotomania, also known as de Clerambault’s syndrome, is characterized by the delusion that a person has fallen in love with the patient. It occasionally appears secondary to psychiatric disorders and organic brain diseases. However, there have been no reports on cases secondary to patients with DLB.Case presentation:The patient was an 83-year-old woman who lived alone. Mild cognitive impairment appeared at the age of 82 years. Soon after, she had the delusional conviction that her family doctor was in love with her. Her symptoms, such as gradually progressive cognitive impairment, cognitive fluctuations, and parkinsonism, indicated DLB. Although small doses of quetiapine, brexpiprazole and risperidone were prescribed for the treatment of the delusion, each of them was discontinued soon because of the adverse reactions. Finally, the delusion was successfully treated with a small dose of blonanserin without sever side effects.Discussions and Conclusions:This case report suggests the possibility of de Clerambault’s syndrome during the early stages of DLB. Recently, psychiatric-onset DLB has increasingly gained attention in recent years. Further accumulation of knowledge about delusions in patients with DLB for an early diagnosis.
