Pallidopyramidal disease is a rare disease of young patients in which they manifest a parkinsonian syndrome and pyramidal signs. Pallidopyramidal disease has been attributed to a degeneration of the pallidum and the pyramidal tract, although only 1 patient has been studied postmortem. In the present report, [18F]fluorodopa positron emission tomography in 2 patients showed a marked dopaminergic denervation of the striatum, suggesting that this disease corresponds more to a nigropallidopyramidal dysfunction.

D004295 Dihydroxyphenylalanine A beta-hydroxylated derivative of phenylalanine. The D-form of dihydroxyphenylalanine has less physiologic activity than the L-form and is commonly used experimentally to determine whether the pharmacological effects of LEVODOPA are stereospecific.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
