✦ Synopsis

A 47-year-old patient with hereditary spastic paraplegia and parkinsonian features is reported. Treatment with levodopa led to marked improvement in his neurological status and quality of life. However, several years later he developed motor fluctuations and dyskinesias. The latter promptly remitted with amantadine treatment.

We report on a patient who developed acute parkinsonian symptoms following shunt revision for hydrocephalus. Parkinsonism improved dramatically after levodopa therapy. Furthermore, there was no recurrence of Parkinsonism despite discontinuation of levodopa. This observation suggests that Parkinsonis
