Abstract
• The observation of a patient suffering from a parkinsonian syndrome, almost entirely expressed on the right side, and "on-off" attacks with rotatory movement of the trunk, led us to consider that the rotational model of animals may be reproduced in man. The symptoms presented by our patient may reflect a predominant degeneration in the nigrostriatal pathway of the left side. We suggest that his torsion behavior is due to hypersensitivity phenomenon of the dopaminergic receptors on this side.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
