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