Lewy bodies in the presence of Alzheimer's disease
W. I. Rosenblum and N. R. Ghatak
Large numbers of Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra were found in a case
of Alzheimer's disease. Parkinsonian symptoms were not recognized. The
patient appears to be an example of an association recognized by Woodard
but not yet understood. The case is discussed in the context of reported
relationships between Parkinson's disease or "Lewy body disease" and
dementia, on the one hand, and reports linking various forms of psychoses
with an unusually high incidence of Lewy bodies, on the other.
