In Parkinson’s disease (PD), dysphagia has a significant influence on nutritional status. When dysphagia is resistant to oral nutrition intervention, enteral nutrition using a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) can be considered. A levodopa (L-DOPA)-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) has been used to treat advanced PD using a PEG with a jejunal extension (PEG-J) (AbbVie, Montr eal, Canada). We present a case in which the LCIG PEG-J was used successfully for feeding.
