Abstract
Unlabelled:
OBJECTIVE AND CLINICAL CASE: We describe and present a video film of a patient with a hemiparkinsonian illness associated with hemidystonia and pyramidalism, which responded to continuous L-Dopa treatment for twenty years, with no fluctuation or deterioration at the end of the dose-effect. CT and MR studies were normal.
Conclusions:
The characteristics of this case with probable static unilateral dysfunction, basically presynaptic, of the nigrostriate via, make it reasonable to include it in the hemiparkinson-hemiatrophy group.
