Respiratory dyskinesia in a patient with Parkinson disease successfully treated with STN DBS

Dyskinesia in Parkinson disease (PD) usually involves the neck, trunk, limbs, and face.1– 3 Isolated or predominant respiratory involvement is rarely reported, and can lead to inappropriate cardiopulmonary tests and management. We report successful diagnosis and treatment of such a case for the first time using bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN DBS).
