Drug-Induced Parkinsonism

Abstract: Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is the second-most-common etiology of parkinsonism in the elderly after Parkinson's disease (PD). Many patients with DIP may be misdiagnosed with PD because the clinical features of these two conditions are indistinguishable. Moreover, neurological deficits in patients with DIP may be severe enough to affect daily activities and may persist for long periods of time after the cessation of drug taking. In addition to typical antipsychotics, DIP may be caused by gastrointestinal pr… Show more

“…2 Tremor (4-7 Hz) in DIP usually affects the upper limbs, and present both at rest and activity, but, is less frequent than PD. 3 However, clinical manifestations alone cannot distinguish DIP from PD. 3 Imaging of striatal dopamine transporter using SinglePhoton Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) using radioligand [ 123 I]FP-CIT (showing diminished nigro-striatal dopeminergic cell uptake in PD but not in DIP) may be helpful.…”
