Abstract

Treatment with continuous infusion of intraduodenal (Duodopa®) levodopa / carbidopa is indicated in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease who have not responded to conventional treatment. We present here the case of a patient with this type of probe that debuted jejunitis. A distal phytobezoar was the main causal agent. This rare complication may be favored in cases of intestinal hypomotility. Treatment involves its withdrawal as soon as possible and replacement by a new probe, which results in healing.
