  "abstract": "Introduction: There is growing evidence suggesting that alterations in higher-level visual processing are a frequent and clinically relevant symptom in such neurodegenerative diseases as Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and Lewy body dementia. Some 70% of patients with Lewy body dementia are estimated to present visuoperceptual deficits during the course of the disease. Development: This text summarises the most common visuoperceptual and visuospatial alterations associated with neurodegenerative diseases commonly seen in neurology and neuropsychology practice, highlighting some of the most widely used neuropsychological tests for their detection. Moreover, it emphasises the relevance of these alterations not only for the initial and differential diagnosis of such conditions but also for predicting patients' prognosis and clinical progression across the different stages of the disease. Conclusions: Future research should focus on developing new cognitive assessment tools that integrate current advances in the understanding of higher-level visual processing and neurodegenerative diseases. Early, accurate identification of visuoperceptual and visuospatial deficits is not only essential for early and differential diagnosis but also can provide valuable information about disease progression and help guide more personalised therapeutic interventions.",
