【 摘 要 】

We report a 67-year-old man with Parkinson's disease for 9 years who developed compulsive use of levodopa. This phenomenon is the main feature of the dopamine dysregulation syndrome. Other related symptoms presented by our patient were mood fluctuation and increased writing activity suggestive of punding.
