Abstract
The absence of response to levodopa typically described in CADASIL patients [[6]] suggests that dysfunction of the striatal dopamine receptors or of the nondopaminergic thalamocortical pathways also contributes to the pathophysiology of CADASIL-related parkinsonism. A study on a large sample of 102 CADASIL patients showed an age-dependent increase of basal ganglia symptoms in up to 48% patients older than 60 [[1]]. [Extracted from the article]
