Can lithium unmask the preclinical parkinsonian features?

Abstract

Sir Drug induced Parkinsonism( DIP) is diagnosed when symptoms of parkinsonism start during the use of the offending drug and in the absence of a history of symptoms of parkinsonism before initiation of the drug. 1 We describe a case of Parkinsonism that was clinically diagnosed as DIP but DAT scan pointed towards idiopathic Parkinsonâ s disease( PD).
