Abstract

It is common for patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease to develop levodopa-induced dyskinesia. This report provides what we believe is the first videotape presentation of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in a patient with progressive supranuclear palsy. To our knowledge, there is only one previous report of an autopsy-proven case of this kind.
