Abstract

Parkinson's disease begins before the age of 40 in only 5% of patients. We report a case of pregnancy in a 35-year old woman with Parkinson's disease. The patient was treated by levodopa associated with benzerazid. No effect was observed on the pregnancy and the fetus. Only the symptoms were moderately worsened. A literature review is performed.
