Abstract:
Left hemiparkinsonism was the first symptom of increased intracranial pressure in a 14-year-old girl. The parkinsonism resolved when the increased intracranial pressure was relieved by a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. This is the first case of parkinsonism associated with hydrocephalus caused by non-neoplastic aqueductal stenosis.
