Abstract

Five patients with Parkinson's disease, when first seen, manifested an abnormal increase in appetite. This bulimia decreased concomitantly with clinical improvement in the parkinsonism during treatment with L‐dopa plus a decarboxylase inhibitor. A possible role of dopamine in the central control of appetite is discussed. Abnormally increased appetite (bulimia) is proposed as a new autonomic sign in Parkinson's disease.
