Abstract
- Abstract: We report postoperative unresponsiveness in a 79-year-old woman who underwent excision of a posterior fossa meningioma with a past history of Parkinson’s disease. This report highlights the development of a post-surgical akinetic or Parkinsonian crisis that presents with unresponsiveness. We discuss the condition briefly and emphasise the need for early recognition and prompt treatment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
