Abstract

Camptocormia in parkinsonism is defined by marked anteroflexion of the trunk, which is relieved by lying down together with minimal or no response to levodopa. We describe here a 47-year-old patient with multiple system atrophy with predominant parkinsonism associated with camptocormia; the camptocormia and parkinsonian motor symptoms were markedly improved with levodopa treatment.
