Abstract

Dyskinesias are known to occur in many patients with Parkinson's disease treated with dopaminergic drugs but to date, drug-induced dyskinesias have not been observed in humans with no underlying basal ganglia disorder. We describe a patient with psychogenic parkinsonism and intravenous apomorphine abuse leading to subsequent choreatiform dyskinesias.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
