Abstract

The relationship between physical trauma and Parkinson's disease is reviewed. Post-traumatic Parkinson's syndrome may occur following cumulative head trauma in contact sports and exceptionally rarely after single severe closed head injury. It remains uncertain, however, whether physical injury should be considered one aetiological factor in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.
