TY - JOUR T1 - Emergencies and critical issues in Parkinson’s disease JF - Practical Neurology JO - Pract Neurol SP - 15 LP - 25 DO - 10.1136/practneurol-2018-002075 VL - 20 IS - 1 AU - Cristina Simonet AU - Eduardo Tolosa AU - Ana Camara AU - Francesc Valldeoriola Y1 - 2020/02/01 UR - http://pn.bmj.com/content/20/1/15.abstract N2 - Complications from Parkinson’s disease may develop over the disease course, sometimes unexpectedly, and require prompt or even urgent medical intervention. The most common are associated with aggravation of motor symptoms; serious non-motor complications, such as psychosis, orthostatic hypotension or sleep attacks, also occur. Here we review such complications, their clinical presentation, precipitating factors and management, including those related to using device-aided therapies. Early recognition and prompt attention to these critical situations is challenging, even for the Parkinson’s disease specialist, but is essential to prevent serious problems. ER -
