Sumario:The first report of an abdominal wall dyskinesia syndrome was published in 1990 by Iliceto et al. (1990), who were the first to use the “belly dancer dyskinesia” (BDD) nomenclature. BDD is a rare syndrome involving repetitive, involuntary, and continuous movements of the abdominal wall muscles (Iliceto et al., 1990). We describe the case of a 79-year-old, right-handed woman who showed symptoms of BDD syndrome after using levodopa due to parkinson's disease (PD). In this report, BDD was treated by stopping levodopa. After 15 days without levodopa, a positive outcome was achieved. The patient no longer exhibited BDD at the six-month and one-year follow-ups.
