Core Tip
Core Tip: Both Othello syndrome (OS) and impulse control disorders in Parkinson’s disease (PD) may be considered side effects of dopamine agonist therapy. These syndromes may have severe consequences; thus, when clinical features of either syndrome appear, the features of both syndromes should be investigated further. We report the case of a patient with PD, OS, hypersexuality, and binge eating. The syndrome was alleviated after a reduction of the patient’s pramipexole dosage and the addition of quetiapine.
