The presence of the distinctive formations known as Lewy bodies within brain cells has been linked to senile dementia. A pattern of clinical features helps distinguish Lewy body dementia from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Differentiation can be important, because many patients with Lewy body dementia have a hypersensitivity to neuroleptic medications.
