    Abstract:
    Parkinsonian syndrome is the clinical expression of a lesion within the nigro-striatal dopaminergic pathway. Akinesia is the main manifestation of parkinsonism. The clinical analysis of motor symptoms may guide clinical diagnosis. Parkinson's disease is characterized by a pure asymmetric parkinsonian syndrome, responsive to dopaminergic treatment. The evolution of Parkinson's disease is characterized by the occurrence of motor complications (dyskinesia and fluctuations). Gait disturbances (postural instability and freezing) are late in Parkinson's disease. When early (within the first three years), they point to atypical parkinsonian syndrome.
