Abstract

In many patients under levodopa treatment, involuntary movements would eventually happen. Such dyskinesias are similar to tardive dyskinesias in appearance. Diphasic dyskinesias or dyskinesia-improved-dyskinesia (DID) can be seen during levodopa treatment, sometimes in combination with dystonia and usually appears with changes in dopamine levels.
