BackgroundDelayed parkinsonism and dystonia are recognized phenomena in osmotic demyelinating syndrome (ODS). Dopamine receptor agonists and levodopa have been reported to benefit select patients.Case reportWe report a patient with ODS with severe pseudobulbar deficits, parkinsonism and dystonia, poorly responsive to levodopa, who experienced a remarkable improvement with pramipexole.DiscussionA marked response to pramipexole with lack of response to levodopa suggests a pre-synaptic source for his deficits coupled with injuries to non-nigral compensatory structures.HighlightsThis case highlights a dramatic response of osmotic demyelination-induced parkinsonism/dystonia to pramipexole. A lack of response to levodopa suggests deficits in the pre-synaptic nigral as well as non-nigral compensatory structures.
