## Abstract Involuntary upward and lateral eye movements are described in two Parkinson's disease patients who also experience levodopaβinduced chreoathetoid limb movements simultaneously. These brief deviations of gaze represent a rare ocular manifestation of dyskinesia and are similar to oculogyr

Our objective was to develop parameters for objective ambulatory measurements of levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LID) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Twentythree PD patients with mild to severe LID were submitted to a standardized protocol of 1-minute recordings during rest, talking, stress
## Abstract Existing and emerging strategies for managing Lβdopaβinduced dyskinesias (LIDs) in patients with Parkinson disease have involved either delaying the introduction of Lβdopa therapy, treatment with an antidyskinetic agent, using a therapy or delivery system that can provide continuous dop
Lerner and Bagic 1 have to be congratulated for their hypothesis on PD pathogenesis. They suggest that the sequence of the brain changes in PD follows specific and repeatable patterns in all cases, as well as that a prion-like process underlies neurodegeneration. These ideas could explain several fe
Symptomatic respiratory disturbance as a consequence of levodopa (L-dopa) therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) has been described only rarely and may be underrecognized in clinical practice. We report on two patients with PD in whom the introduction or augmentation of L-dopa therapy was associated w
