ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) may present with unusual motor and non-motor symptoms and signs in the early stage of the disease. Methods Cases were collected over a five-year period at two tertiary movement disorders clinics. All had a diagnosis of PD with unusual presentations defined retrospectively as the presence of complaints not objectively related to any of the classic cardinal signs of parkinsonism or the typical early non-motor features of PD. Results A total of 15 early PD patients fulfilled the proposed criteria, presenting with symptoms such as atypical tremors, shoulder pain, signs related to the rigid akinetic syndrome, as well as cases of asthenia, rhinorrhea, parosmia, dysgeusia, nocturnal sialorrhea, and color discrimination disorders. Conclusions Unusual motor and non-motor symptoms and signs in the early stage of PD can be difficult to interpret. Specialists should be aware of these conditions as clues to a potential diagnosis.

RESUMO Objetivo Pacientes com doença de Parkinson (DP) podem apresentar sintomas e sinais motores e não motores pouco comuns na fase inicial da doença. Métodos Os casos foram coletados em um período de cinco anos, em dois centros terciários de distúrbios do Movimento. Todos os pacientes tinham o diagnóstico de DP com apresentações clínicas iniciais pouco comuns. Resultados Um total de 15 pacientes com DP na fase inicial, apresentando sintomas e sinais tais como, tremores atípicos, dor no ombro, sinais relacionados com a síndrome rígido-acinética, bem como casos com astenia, rinorréia, parosmia, disgeusia, sialorréia noturna e distúrbios da discriminação de cores.
