Abstract
Dear Editor,
The continuous infusion of Duodopa® (levodopa + carbidopa gel) is an alternative to conventional oral therapy in patients with advanced Parkinson´s disease (1), because this new treatment has shown a better control of motor fluctuations and a reduction of dyskinesias (2,3). The infusion system has a Duodopa® portable container connected to a duodenal tube placed through a gastrostomy tube.
We report on 2 patients with advanced Parkinson´s disease treated with Duodopa® infusion and a knot found in the duodenal tube.
