    AbstractProblems of Parkinson`s Disease within the Arab world are discussed and a number of solutions are presented that will help in the management of Idiopathic Parkinson`s Disease. The problems discussed are problems related to the diagnosis whereby no individual clinical feature has sufficient sensitivity and specificity to serve as the sole basis for distinguishing Parkinson`s disease from other diseases with Parkinsonian features. Problems related to the Unified Parkinson`s Disease Rating Scale are also discussed and convey a multitude of problems culturally distinct to the Arab world. Problems related to the medical treatment, selection of patients for surgery, the surgery itself and the surgeon, programming and rehabilitation are discussed in detail.
