[en] ABSTRACT
Background: While levodopa may benefit some patients with monogenic Parkinson’s
Disease and parkinsonism, others may exhibit aberrant responses earlier after exposure.
Reporting treatment responses in rare genetic parkinsonism will help tailor therapeutic
approaches to specific patients subpopulations.
Case Report: We report the therapeutic response in a patient with RAB39B X-linked
parkinsonism, who exhibited motor and non-motor complications within a few months
of Levodopa.
Discussion: Severe and debilitating Levodopa-induced complications can occur very
early in the treatment course of X-linked parkinsonism, highlighting the need for an
individualized therapeutic approach and follow-up in rare parkinsonian syndromes.
