Kumakhov , Amirkhan Alimovich, Zhukova Natalia Grigoryevna

This article is devoted to the analysis of a clinical case of development of early and pronounced dyskinesias and motor fluctuations in a patient with Parkinson's disease when high doses of levodopa were prescribed as a starting therapy, which was the cause of these complications. Data on the patient were obtained by studying medical records, as well as conducting a neurological examination, analyzing complaints, anamnesis of the disease and life. During the study of the anamnesis of the disease, it was revealed that after the appointment of a high starting dose of levodopa, the patient after some time developed pronounced dyskinesias and motor fluctuations, which significantly reduced the quality of life and daily activity of the patient. The clinical example proves the need for careful selection of adequate starting therapy for Parkinson's disease to prevent the development of side effects and complications.
