Within the group of Lewy body disease (LBD), DLB [dementia with Lewy bodies] is one of the diseases while Parkinson disease dementia (PDD) is another. They present a similar neuropathological appearance but differentiate in their clinical expression. In DLB, the cognitive symptoms precede the motor symptoms, whereas in PDD the non-cognitive symptoms are the first sign of the disease. 1, record 2, English, - Lewy%20body%20disease

Lorsqu'un syndrome parkinsonien est présent, le diagnostic de DCL [démence à corps de Lewy] est discuté lorsque la démence survient avant ou de manière concomitante aux signes moteurs. Le terme de démence parkinsonienne est proposé dans les situations où la démence survient dans l'évolution d'une maladie de Parkinson établie. Pour distinguer les deux entités, un intervalle de 1 an entre démence et signes parkinsoniens reste le critère recommandé. En pratique, la distinction pouvant être difficile, le terme générique de maladie à corps de Lewy peut être utile. 3, record 2, French, - maladie%20%C3%A0%20corps%20de%20Lewy
