Lewy body dementia occurs when Lewy bodies accumulate and affect chemicals in the brain that lead to problems with thinking, movement, behavior and mood. Dementia is a severe loss of these abilities, especially thinking, and is one of the most common causes of dementia after Alzheimer's disease and vascular disease.

They are identified under the microscope when histology is performed on the brain. Lewy bodies appear as spherical masses that displace other cell components.
