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.

Progressive Course

The differential diagnosis for dementia is wide. A slowly progressive course for parkinsonism suggests a degenerative cause and helps to narrow the differential diagnosis considerably. In patients with dementia in combination with parkinsonism (often collectively termed the parkinsonism-related dementias), the 4 most common neurodegenerative entities are 1) Lewy body dementias (which include dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson disease with dementia); 2) corticobasal syndrome or corticobasal degeneration; 3) Richardson syndrome or progressive supranuclear palsy; and 4) frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism.

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.
