ABSTRACT
Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive disorder characterized by progressive muscular rigidity, pill-rolling tremor, stooping posture, shuffling gait, and akinesia. Hand deformities associated with Parkinson's disease were first described in 1864 by Ordenstein. The hand deformity of Parkinsons disease consists of metacarpophalangeal joint flexion and interphalangeal joint extension. In clinical practice, the problem is often overlooked or misdiagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis. We experienced 2 cases of pseudorheumatoid hand deformities secondary to Parkinsons disease, and report these cases with a review of the literatures.
