Subcutaneous foslevodopa in akinetic crisis. A case report from the neurological intensive care unit

Treatment of an akinetic crisis with subcutaneous foslevodopa in an intensive care unit setting has proven to be safe and effective in a patient with acute akinesia associated with dopamine-sensitive hydrocephalus. Due to the pathophysiological distinction from Parkinson's disease, there may be differences in therapeutic response and side effects. Nevertheless, the method used here can serve as a protocol basis for the treatment of akinetic crises with foslevodopa in general and as a starting point for further research.
