These terms describe the same disorder characterized by the accumulation of abnormal protein deposits in the brain, leading to impairments in cognitive and motor functions.

Regardless of the name used, individuals diagnosed with LBD and their families face significant challenges in managing the disease and maintaining quality of life.
