Long‐term treatment response and fluorodopa positron emission tomographic scanning of parkinsonism in a family with dopa‐responsive dystonia

Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) is one form of childhood-onset idiopathic torsion dystonia. Adult-onset parkinsonism has appeared in several previously unaffected members in families with DRD suggesting that this may be an additional phenotypical expression of the disease.
