Sist revidert av:
Definisjon:
Kronisk progredierende nevrodegenerativ sykdom som er karakterisert ved redusert og fluktuerende kognitiv funksjon, tilbakevendende synshallusinasjoner, parkinsonistiske trekk, overfølsomhet for antipsykotika 
Forekomst:
Tilstanden utgjør trolig ca. 10-15% av alle demenstilfeller i Norge
Symptomer:
Ligner ofte på delir med fluktuerende konfusjon, oppmerksomhetsproblemer, psykiatriske symptomer og kognitiv svekkelse
Funn:
Ofte visuospatiale og eksekutive vanskeligheter ved nevropsykologiske undersøkelser. Vanligvis ett eller flere parkinsonistiske symptomer. Kognitiv svikt, men MMSE er lite sensitiv i tidlig fase 
Diagnostikk:
Andre relevante undersøkelser er først og fremst MR eller CT av hjernen
Behandling:
Organisering av støttetiltak er hovedbehandlingen, men kolinesterasehemmere kan ha effekt
