Delayed parkinsonism with a selective symmetric basal ganglia lesion after manual strangulation.
A 21-year-old woman, who experienced manual strangulation, developed delayed parkinsonism associated with a selective symmetric basal ganglia lesion. The patient had recovered completely one year after early combination therapy. This case emphasizes the need for greater attention in detecting early brain injuries in those afflicted with strangulation so as to provide optimal management.
