In Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), rapid cognitive decline and seizures seldom complicate the typical clinical course. Nevertheless, concurrent, treatable conditions may be responsible. We report a case of DLB with superimposed anti-LGI1 encephalitis, emphasizing the importance of thorough diagnostic reasoning beyond the simplest explanation amid distinct clinical cues.

Abstract
In Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), rapid cognitive decline and seizures seldom complicate the typical clinical course. Nevertheless, concurrent, treatable conditions may be responsible. We report a case of DLB with superimposed anti-LGI1 encephalitis, emphasizing the importance of thorough diagnostic reasoning beyond the simplest explanation amid distinct clinical cues.
