Drug-induced parkinsonism: A case report

Case Reports Sample Work

Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is characterized by the development of parkinsonian features after exposure to certain medications. This phenomenon was first described as a complication of neuroleptic therapy in 1950. Symptoms of DIP tend to be bilateral and symmetrical in nature and often appear within days; however, the majority of patients with DIP will develop symptoms within three months of starting their medication. In contrast to Parkinson’s disease, DIP does not result from degeneration of the substantia nigra, nor are there specific mechanisms associated with dopamine antagonist receptors (D2).[1]
