Re: What is DLBD and CBGD? - Betty

[Guest guest]

I think Betty was wondering what these two disorders were.

DLBD stands for Diffuse Lewy Body Disease. Also called Lewy Body Dementia

(LBD).

CBGD stands for Corticobasal Ganglionic Degeneration

These are both considered to be Parkinson Plus Disorders.

Other Parkinson Plus Disorders are:

MSA - Multiple System Atrophy

PSP - Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.
