- Abstract
- "Head trauma has been mentioned as an uncommon cause of secondary Parkinsonism. We report a 68-year-old woman
who developed a rapidly evolving post-traumatic encephalopathy with predominant akinetic-rigid syndrome. The clini-cal
manifestations were mainly bradykinesia, rigidity, cognitive dysfunction and emotional lability. Brain SPECT
showed perfusion defect in the left basal ganglia and thalamus. The parkinsonian symptoms improved moderately with
levodopa.Key Words : Head trauma, Parkinsonism, Brain SPECT"
