Abstract

Juvenile parkinsonism is a syndrome with onset of parkinsonism prior to age 21. The underlying cause is likely to be genetic or secondary. Potentially treatable causes should be identified. Otherwise, treatment of parkinsonian symptoms is similar to idiopathic Parkinson disease. Prognosis will depend upon the underlying cause.
