  • Title: A case of levodopa-responsive camptocormia associated with advanced Parkinson's disease.
    Author: Ho B, Prakash R, Morgan JC, Sethi KD.
    Journal: Nat Clin Pract Neurol; 2007 Sep; 3(9):526-30. PubMed ID: 17805247.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: A 48-year-old man with a 9-year history of Parkinson's disease who had previously shown a good response to levodopa presented for evaluation of increasingly disabling motor fluctuations and marked camptocormia. INVESTIGATIONS: Video-recorded neurological examinations when in 'off' and 'on' states, brain MRI scan. DIAGNOSIS: Advanced Parkinson's disease complicated by levodopa-responsive camptocormia. MANAGEMENT: Adjustment of dopaminergic therapy (carbidopa-levodopa and entacapone) to minimize motor fluctuations and camptocormia.
