Abstract:Key Clinical MessageWe present the case of a 54‐year‐old male with severe Parkinson's disease and chronic, non‐reversible pulmonary artery hypertension who had seizures and a cardiorespiratory arrest during surgery for deep brain stimulation, a minimally invasive procedure usually associated with a low risk of complications. This case illustrates how perioperative changes in antiparkinsonian therapy in patient with multiple comorbidities may significantly affect the risk profile.
