A 55-year-old patient with Parkinson’s disease (PD) was seen for a shoulder abscess. This abscess was related to the presence of a subcutaneous needle that was disconnected from the tubing used for continuous apomorphine therapy. The patient recovered after abscess incision and antibiotherapy. An X-ray of the shoulders confirmed that several needles remained subcutaneously in both shoulders. After changing the type of catheter, no similar event occurred.
