Few cases of dopamine agonist-induced antecollis in Parkinson's disease (PD) have been reported. Literature review of 16 PD patients including our 3 cases with dopamine agonist-induced antecollis showed predominance of (1) Japanese, (2) women, and (3) Hoehn-Yahr stage of >or=3. We experienced three Japanese PD patients who subacutely exhibited antecollis following increased dopamine agonist dose that improved just after withdrawal of the agonist. One patient developed antecollis during increasing pramipexole dose in combination with cabergoline. Antecollis in another patient appeared during increasing pramipexole dose; it worsened after substituting pergolide for pramipexole, but improved after withdrawal of pergolide. Our cases indicate that there is no specific dopamine agonist causing antecollis, and it is possibly caused by a number of single dopamine agonists or a combination of them. Dopamine agonist-induced antecollis should be considered when encountering antecollis in PD patients being treated with dopamine agonists and withdrawal of the agonist can improve symptoms.

D010300 Parkinson Disease A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

D004409 Dyskinesia, Drug-Induced Abnormal movements, including HYPERKINESIS; HYPOKINESIA; TREMOR; and DYSTONIA, associated with the use of certain medications or drugs. Muscles of the face, trunk, neck, and extremities are most commonly affected. Tardive dyskinesia refers to abnormal hyperkinetic movements of the muscles of the face, tongue, and neck associated with the use of neuroleptic agents (see ANTIPSYCHOTIC AGENTS).
