Movement disorders caused by brain tumors are rare. The diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) is based foremost on clinical findings. However, not performing imaging already within the initial diagnostic workup in patients presenting with symptoms of PD can delay or miss a serious diagnosis and consequently proper treatment.
