Abstract

Geriatric patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) represent a particular challenge in terms of diagnostics and treatment. This overview article addresses age-related characteristics of this patient group and discusses particularities in PD symptoms in this age group, frequent comorbidities and the resulting polypharmacy. Questions regarding the availability of specialist and therapist care as well as end-of-life aspects are discussed. While comprehensive care structures are not always available, this patient group requires a multidisciplinary treatment team supervised by neurologists with ample experience in PD treatment.
