In dementia with Lewy bodies, microscopic deposits in the brain known as 'Lewy bodies' cause damage to nerve cells. Many of the symptoms, such as loss of memory and reasoning skills, are similar to those in Alzheimer's disease. However, many people with this form of dementia also develop Parkinson-type symptoms, such as slowness, stiffness and tremor. Visual hallucinations and falls are also common. Particular care should be taken with certain tranquillising medicines (neuroleptics), as these can be dangerous for people with dementia with Lewy bodies.
