Abstract
There are various neurodegenerative or hereditary causes of Parkinsonism. Therefore, clinicians should consider an increasing range of differential diagnoses when facing a patient with Parkinsonism, especially when associated with additional clinical features. Young-onset Parkinsonism, especially when accompanied by features uncommon in idiopathic Parkinson's disease raises the possibility of genetic etiology.
Herein, we present a case of a 40-year-old man with genetic Parkinson's disease, presenting with rapidly progressive dementia. This round will describe our approach to this clinical presentation and the unveiling of a rare genetic condition.
