In 44 consecutive outpatients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) without levodopa substitution therapy, we tested spatial orientation. Spatial orientation was impaired on the rod orientation test in 43 patients, on the line orientation test in 7 patients, and on the facial recognition test in 17 patients. There was no correlation between severity of spatial disorientation and age, length of illness, verbal WAIS score, or severity of PD. Impairment of spatial orientation is part of PD even in mild cases.
在44例未接受左旋多巴替代治疗的特发性帕金森病（PD）门诊患者中，我们测试了空间定向能力。在杆状定向测试中，43例患者存在空间定向障碍；在直线定向测试中，7例患者存在障碍；在面部识别测试中，17例患者存在障碍。空间定向障碍的严重程度与年龄、病程、韦氏成人智力量表（WAIS）语言得分或帕金森病的严重程度之间均无相关性。即使在轻度病例中，空间定向障碍也是帕金森病的一部分。
