In some cases, the cause of postencephalitic parkinsonism is unknown.

The symptoms of Postencephalitic parkinsonism are similar to those of Parkinson's disease, but may be more severe and include:

- Slowed movement (bradykinesia)
- Rigidity of the muscles
- Tremors

- Difficulty speaking
- Difficulty swallowing
- Loss of facial expression
