The authors report a patient whose Parkinson's disease and mania both responded well to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) after failing to respond to chemotherapy. The authors review the literature and suggest that ECT is a safe and effective treatment for affective syndromes associated with Parkinsonism. The presence of dementia in these patients appears to be an indicator of poor prognosis. This paper is believed to be the first report of successful use of ECT in mania occurring together with Parkinsonism.
作者报告了一名患者，其帕金森病和躁狂症在对化疗无反应后，均对电休克疗法（ECT）反应良好。作者回顾了文献，并指出ECT是治疗与帕金森综合征相关的情感综合征的一种安全有效的方法。这些患者中痴呆的存在似乎是预后不良的一个指标。本文据信是关于成功使用ECT治疗合并帕金森综合征的躁狂症的首例报告。
