| Description | We present here a case study of a patient suffering from rapidly progressive dementia with the clinical picture of Creutzfeldt-Jakob´s disease, which finally turned out to be a masked Lewy body dementia in which the dissection showed an influence of other comorbidities. Lewy body dementia is in general underdiagnosed condition and there is a little clinical awareness. This case study shows the need of familiarity with the diagnostic criteria of dementias. It is necessary to keep in mind the possibility of combination of multiple diagnosis and brain pathologies which could produce an atypical clinical picture. |
