Dementia with Lewy bodies: a practical guide to clinical diagnosis and management.
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a leading cause of late-life dementia which remains underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed, and is associated with significant diagnostic delay compared with non-DLB dementias. There is a pressing need for timely and accurate diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease with the emergence of pathologically targeted disease-modifying therapies. This review aims to provide neurologists with practical advice on the recognition of classical, prodromal and variant forms of DLB. We discuss the appropriate use of diagnostic modalities, along with advice on focused and practical management in the clinical setting.
期刊介绍:
The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
