title: Hypersexuality after pallidal surgery in Parkinson disease.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine the possible association of neuropsychiatric symptoms and pallidal surgery for Parkinson disease (PD).
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  Parkinson disease may be accompanied by a variety of psychiatric symptoms. It is important to distinguish these from psychiatric syndromes that are associated with the treatment of PD.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case description of a patient with PD and a history of right pallidotomy who developed a psychiatric syndrome, including prominent hypersexuality, after surgical implantation of a deep brain stimulator electrode in the left globus pallidus.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case demonstrates that patients receiving antiparkinson medication may be at risk for the development of psychiatric sequelae after pallidal surgery.
