We present the case of a 21–year–old man with advanced refractory Parkinson’s disease treated with Duodopa continuous infusion. With this therapy, the patient had a spectacular recovery but after six months, he experienced an aggravation of his symptoms. A failure of his pumping system was suspected but we discovered that the jejunal tube was blocked due to a knot around a bezoar. This is the first complication of this kind described with the Duodopa infusion technique.
