We report a case of a 63-year-old patient in late stage Parkinson's disease in whom compensation of late motor complications could no longer be achieved with oral treatment. Following the insertion of a PEG tube and intrajejunal administration of the Duodopa gel, the patient's condition improved significantly, with substantial regression of the 'off' states and alleviation of hyperkinesia.
Keywords: late stage Parkinson's disease, motor complications, fluctuations of ability to move and dyskinesia, Duodopa
