- Abstract
Lewybody dementia is a neurodegenerative dementing disorder. It is most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. Dementia with Lewy bodies is primarily characterized as cognitive edecline, visual hallucinations and motor features (parkinsonism). Other clinical symptoms include REM (rapid eye movement) sleep behavior disorder, serious neuroleptic sensitivity and dysautonomia support diagnosis. Both postoperative cognitive deficit and post operatif delirium are more common in elderly patients with Lewy body dementia than normal elderly patients and elderly patients with other dementias such as Alzheimer disease. We presented two men cases; first case 65years old occured post operatif cognitif deficity and post operatif hypoactive delirium after pelvic fracture operation and the other one 60 years old occurred postoperative cognitive deficit and postoperative hyperactive delirium after appendicitis surgery. In patients with Lewy body dementia, early diagnosis and treatment of surgery complications are very effective to prevent morbidity and mortality. Also clinicans should determine and reduce probable risks of preoperative and intra operative complications in patients with Lewy body dementia.
