Parkinson's disease is characterized by tremor, stiffness of the musculature, bradykinesia, and postural and march abnormalities. It attacks all ethnic groups, with no sex preference, frequently in the 45-50-year range. The diagnosis is essentially clinical. The association with pregnancy is rare. The experience with that association is scarse, some questions remaining without answer. The authors describe a case of Parkinson's disease and gestation with satisfactory evolution, in spite of the clinical worsening during pregnancy. The mother presented elevation of blood pressure levels, alterations of the hepatic enzymes, and oligohydramnios. She used, independently, selegiline until the third month, and, later on, amantadine. The newborn presented low weight, respiratory distress and jaundice, being discharged from the hospital, with no other complications, on the fourth day of life.
