title: [The use of clozapine and levodopa for the treatment of persistent visual hallucinations and parkinsonism in Lewy body dementia].
abstract: Visual hallucinations (VH) are sometimes difficult to treat in patients with Lewy body dementia (LBD). We describe the concurrent use of clozapine and levodopa for the treatment of persistent VH and parkinsonism in a patient with LBD and severely increased sensitivity to antipsychotics.
