Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson’s disease-dementia (PDD), although sharing many clinical, neurochemical and morphological features, according to DSM-5, are two entities of major neurocognitive disorders with Lewy bodies of unknown etiology. Despite considerable clinical overlap, their di...

The pathological hallmark of PD and other synucleinopathies including dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), is the Lewy body.
