This is case report of a young adult male who had developed Parkinsonism symptoms shortly after severe head injury due to accidental fall. This 45-year-old man was diagnosed as multiple hemorrhagic contusions, sub arachnoid hemorrhage and linear skull fracture. After 4 weeks of fall, he developed Parkinsonian symptoms which were relieved by anti-parkinsons disease medication. After doing thorough journal review only few reports were found regarding short term onset of Parkinsons disease after severe head injury, though most of the literatures evident of the similar symptoms after more than years after the head trauma.
