Off‐period status dystonicus in Parkinson’s disease treated with deep brain stimulation: A case report

Abstract

Although Parkinson's disease is often associated with dystonia, no previous reports have documented the progression to generalized status dystonicus. We encountered, to our best knowledge, the first case of off‐period dystonia in Parkinson's disease that developed into status dystonicus (or off‐period status dystonicus) and was completely managed with deep brain stimulation.
