Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease resulting from the loss of dopamine-secreting neurons present in the substantia nigra of the brain. Parkinson's disease is classified as early-onset and late-onset disease based on the time of its presentation. Since young patients with Parkinson's disease have an atypical clinical presentation and have to deal with their careers, raising families, or both at the time of diagnosis and also have a higher risk of drug-related side effects, it poses unique challenges for the patient, clinical team, and community. We present the case of a 40-year-old female with young onset Parkinson's disease from rural Nepal and the challenges faced during and after the disease in a resource-limited setting.
帕金森病是一种神经退行性疾病，由大脑黑质中分泌多巴胺的神经元丧失所致。根据发病时间，帕金森病可分为早发型和晚发型。由于年轻的帕金森病患者临床表现不典型，在诊断时还必须应对职业、抚养家庭或两者兼顾的问题，且药物相关副作用的风险更高，这给患者、临床团队和社区带来了独特的挑战。我们报告了一名来自尼泊尔农村的40岁早发型帕金森病女性患者的病例，以及在资源有限的环境中该疾病期间及之后所面临的挑战。
