We report the case of a woman suffering from severe Parkinson disease with severe motor fluctuations. During a manic attack, her anti-Parkinson treatment was interrupted for 36 hours during which no element of akinesia and no dyskinesia reappeared. This case is suggestive of a link between manic attacks and secretion of dopamine.
