Abstract |
We report a 53-year-old woman who developed a reversible, L-dopa responsive parkinsonian syndrome in the context of a recurrent right-sided subdural haematoma. The syndrome occurred during a prolonged stay in hospital and resolved completely during the following year. Parkinsonism is a rare but recognised complication of subdural haematoma.
