Pisa syndrome (PS), named also as pleurothotonus, is a truncal deviation characterized by a marked lateral flexion of the trunk of at least 10 degrees , which is typically mobile, resolving, for example, on lying down [1], reported in patients affected by probable Parkinson's disease (PD), who had not been prescribed neuroleptics, antiemetics or cholinesterase inhibitors [2,3,4,5]. However, neuropathological correlates of PS in PD have not been investigated, so far. Here we report clinical and neuropathological features of a patient with pathologically confirmed PD diagnosis and a 2-year history of PS.
