Abstract: Background & Objectives: Parkinson disease is a chronic neurodegenerative pathology with unknown etiology and is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer?s disease. It is a disease of old age and occurs all over the world. It is characterized clinically by classic triad that include bradykinesia, rigidity and tremor. To the above triad, fourth cardinal motor feature is added- postural abnormality. Non motor symptoms may precede motor symptoms by more than a decade. Aim and Objectives: To study the clinical profile of patients, attending our hospital diagnosed to have Idiopathic Parkinson disease. Methods: It was an observational study in patients of Idiopathic Parkinson disease. Results: In this study of 103 IPD patients in our hospital, mean age of onset was 61 years. It is more common in males than females with ratio of 2.4:1. YOPD accounted for 3.88 %. Family history was present in 3 members-2.9%, PGID/Akinetic rigid subtypes had higher stage of illness even with short duration of illness. Most common non motor symptom is pain- musculoskeletal, followed by constipation insomnia and hypersalivation. Interpretation & conclusions: Most common symptom for presentation is tremor. Many patients were in stage 2 & 2.5 with duration of illness between 2-3 years.
