 The commonly used treatments for dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are dopaminergic agents for parkinsonism and atypical antipsychotics for visual cognitive impairments. However, occasionally we experience cases of DLB that can not be thoroughly managed using these usual pharmacological therapies. For some of these cases, we attempted modified electroconvulsive therapy (mECT) and witnessed remarkable improvement in the symptoms and ADL.

 Here, we report the significance of mECT in the therapeutic strategy of DLB cases.
