RESUMO
The clinical features of the primary progressive freezing gait, a rare and distinct neurological entity, have been described in some articles. This paper describes this gait disorder affecting one patient, whose condition's long course provoked no postural instability. As stated in the literature, the pathophysiology of the primary progressive freezing gait still remains unclear, although the lack of response to levodopa therapy suggests a possible involvement of nondopaminergic pathways. Alteration in the visual perception may be a potential cause for the condition.
