A case of levodopa-responsive camptocormia associated with advanced Parkinson's disease.
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.


METHODS
Video-recorded neurological examinations when in 'off' and 'on' states, brain MRI scan.


METHODS
Advanced Parkinson's disease complicated by levodopa-responsive camptocormia.


RESULTS
Adjustment of dopaminergic therapy (carbidopa-levodopa and entacapone) to minimize motor fluctuations and camptocormia.
