“Lubag,” or Filipino X‐linked dystonia, typically presents with either pure dystonia (that inexorably becomes generalized) or combined dystonia–parkinsonism. We report on three cases of Lubag presenting with isolated parkinsonism without dystonia or late‐onset dystonia and a slower course. © 2001 Movement Disorder Society.
