    Author: Sage JI, Duvoisin RC.
    Journal: Mov Disord; 1986; 1(4):267-70. PubMed ID: 3504249.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with Parkinson's disease presented with unprovoked, abrupt onset of hallucinations, confusion and the simultaneous worsening of parkinsonian symptoms. This clinical syndrome appears to be a rare complication of dopaminergic therapy since improvement occurred gradually with reduction of Sinemet dosage.
