A CLINICAL CASE OF NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE OF THE TYPE OF LEWY BODY DISEASE WITH SEVERE COGNITIVE, AUTONOMIC DISORDERS.

Abstract

Background. Clinical manifestations of neurodegenerative diseases are diverse and difficult to diagnose. Dementia with Lewy bodies is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, clinically manifested by a combination of dementia, psychiatric disorders, parkinsonism, sleep disorders and autonomic dysregulation.
Methods. A descriptive method was used, which is of the greatest interest in the context of the described clinical case in the Department of Neurology of the Tashkent medical academy. Patient M., 67 years old, falls into a “coma” several times during her life and is hospitalized.
Conclusion. The "lesson" learned from the clinical case: it is necessary to be very attentive to the collection of complaints and anamnesis of patients. The anamnesis of the disease must be collected from several relatives of the patient, which can take a very long time but can also provide an opportunity to find out the features of the course of the disease. And the establishment of the correct diagnosis makes it possible to completely change the tactics of management.
