Abstract:
The description of a syndrome similar to the neuroleptic malignant syndrome but occurring after levodopa withdrawal in a parkinsonian patient is reported. The imputation of levodopa withdrawal is analyzed according to the method of assessment of unexpected drug reactions used by the French centers of pharmacovigilance. This case is compared to 8 other published ones.
