Abstract

We report three cases of patients with Parkinson’s disease without dementia, admitted to our hospital because of hallucinations. The anti-Parkinson medication was adapted and the patients started with rivastigmine. As a result, hallucinations no longer occurred. A 79 years old man also required short-term quetiapine because of agitation and anti-Parkinson doses were without side effects, as a result of which mobility improved. An 84 years old woman reported mild side effects of rivastigmine, without consequences, whereas her mobility appeared to be good. A 72 years old woman reported mild memory problems upon admission, which improved during admission, as did her mobility after increasing the anti-Parkinson medication doses. Treatment of rivastigmine can be useful in the therapeutic dilemma in the treatment of hallucinations in patients with Parkinson’s disease (start anti-psychotic or reduce anti-Parkinson medication). In addition to adapting anti-Parkinson doses and sometimes short-term treating with an anti-psychotic, treatment with rivastigmine appears to be a quick improvement, without serious side effects. Also, mobility can improve, due to the possibility of increasing the anti-Parkinson doses, if necessary. Because of the many remaining questions, prospective randomised trials are needed.
