Abstract
Two patients with Parkinson's disease presented with unprovoked, abrupt onset of hallucinations, confusion and the simultaneous worsening of parkinsonian symptoms. This clinical syndrome appears to be a rare complication of dopaminergic therapy since improvement occurred gradually with reduction of Sinemet dosage.Keywords
