Abstract
in English, Spanish

The original description of what currently is known as Parkinson's disease was published 200 years ago. During both these centuries, knowledge on symptomatology, pathophysiology, genetics and pharmaceutical and surgical treatment has significantly increased; however, this nosological entity continues to be of imprecise origin and progressive evolution. In the present review, the historical events that contributed to describe and improve the understanding of this disease are summarized.

La descripción original de lo que ahora conocemos como enfermedad de Parkinson fue publicada hace 200 años. Durante estos dos siglos, el conocimiento sobre la sintomatología, fisiopatología, genética, tratamiento farmacológico y quirúrgico se ha incrementado notablemente; no obstante, esta entidad nosológica continúa siendo de origen impreciso y de curso progresivo. En la presente revisión se resumen los acontecimientos históricos que contribuyeron a describir y mejorar el entendimiento de esta enfermedad.
