Abstract A case of senile dementia of Lewy body type (SDLBT) who developed severe and incapacitating extrapyramidal side‐effects (EPSE) following treatment with typical neuroleptics, but responded to and tolerated the new atypical neuroleptic risperidone, is described. The potential benefits of atypical neuroleptics for elderly dementia patients with concurrent psychotic and behavioural symptoms are discussed.
