Delirium derived from dementia with Lewy bodies in the cancer perioperative period: a case report
In the cancer perioperative period, delirium derived from DLB may occur mixed with ordinary delirium. Oncologists need to be aware of the risk of hidden DLB with delirium and remain updated regarding this topic. In addition, these patients may well be treated with psychotropics that, in principle, do not exacerbate extrapyramidal symptoms, such as donepezil, yokukansan, and lemborexant.
