La kleptomanie : un trouble du contrôle des impulsions méconnu

Impulse control disorder is a well-known complication of dopaminergic treatment of Parkinson's disease. Pathological gambling, compulsive sexual behavior, compulsive buying and binge eating disorders are the most common features of this disorder. We present two cases of kleptomania in association with dopaminergic treatment for two patients with Parkinson's disease suggesting that kleptomania should be considered as a complication of dopaminergic treatment among impulse control disorders. Kleptomania in Parkinson's disease is a rare complication of dopaminergic linked impulse control disorder but our data suggest that it needs the same management that is used in other impulse control disorders.
