People often think in terms of dementia being one type or another but 2 or 3 types can exist at the same time in one individual. For example, it's very common for a person to have vascular dementia and Alzheimer's at the same time. Parkinson's disease is a form of dementia and I see no reason why it couldn't exist along with the others.
