Abstract

Signs of parkinsonism, such as resting tremors, rigidity, bradykynesia, and gait disturbance, tipically have a unilateral onset and result from a malfunction in the extrapyramial system involving the basal ganglia. Here we describe a patient who developed a pure bilateral parkinsonism that completely regressed after neurosurgical removal of the patient's tumour.
