Abstract:
A 72-year-old female was admitted to our outpatient clinic with the complaints of slowed movements and sudden speeding up of her walk. She was identified to have cavernous angioma with left basal ganglion localization. The patient did not demonstrate a levodopa response and refused to have surgical treatment. The cause underlying this clinical presentation was identified as the chronic pressure brought forward by the cavernous hemangioma. We present this patient as a case report, because cavernous angioma with basal ganglia localization is an unusual cause of secondary parkinsonism.
