Patients with dementia and depression are commonly encountered in ECT practice. A large body of case reports and case series in demented patients attests to the utility of ECT in treating concomitant depression in this population. However, there are no reported cases of patients with suspected Lewy Body dementia and depression treated with ECT. We describe our experience in treating seven such patients. All of them enjoyed substantial relief from depression with ECT, which they tolerated well. It is concluded that ECT can be effective in treating depression associated with probable Lewy Body dementia.
在ECT治疗实践中，痴呆症和抑郁症患者很常见。大量针对痴呆患者的病例报告和病例系列证明了ECT在治疗该人群并发抑郁症方面的效用。然而，尚无关于疑似路易体痴呆症和抑郁症患者接受ECT治疗的报告病例。我们描述了我们治疗7例此类患者的经验。他们所有人通过ECT治疗后抑郁症都得到了显著缓解，且耐受性良好。结论是，ECT可有效治疗与可能的路易体痴呆症相关的抑郁症。
