case_images: In the intensive care unit, the patient's level of consciousness improved, but he shortly developed severe Parkinsonian syndrome, characterized by asymmetric stiffness, resting tremor, anarthria, hypomimia, and cogwheel rigidity. 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD) bicisate single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) showed low fixation of the dopamine transporter in the striated nuclei bilaterally [Figure 1], and then treatment was started with the use of levodopa/benserazide 250 mg 4 times a day and bromocriptine 5 mg 3 times a day, in addition to physical, speech, and occupational therapy.
