Abstract

Parkinsonism is the most frequent neurological complication of carbon monoxide intoxication. Its prognosis is severe and Dopa is ineffective. We treated 9 patients (mean age 60.89 +/- 6.10 years) with bromocriptine (5 à 30 mg daily). Webster's scores were improved under treatment. Our study suggests that early administration of bromocriptine might be an effective therapy of carbon monoxide induced parkinsonism.
