Abstract:
The occurrence of a pathological gambling behavior in a 61-year-old patient with idiopathic Parkinson's disease treated with dopaminergic drugs is reported. This is the first case reported with bromocriptine. The main characteristics and the mechanism of this recently described and a unexpected, adverse drug reaction are discussed.
