ABSTRACT
Head trauma has been mentioned as an uncommon cause of secondary Parkinsonism. We report a 68-year-old woman who developed a rapidly evolving post-traumatic encephalopathy with predominant akinetic-rigid syndrome. The clinical manifestations were mainly bradykinesia, rigidity, cognitive dysfunction and emotional lability. Brain SPECT showed perfusion defect in the left basal ganglia and thalamus. The parkinsonian symptoms improved moderately with levodopa.
