What is the youngest known case of Parkinson's?

Question:

I am doing some research and am wondering what is the youngest known cases of Parkinson's disease in humans. After viewing some brain scan images it would seem that it could be possible that Parkinson's could be started much like for example spinal Meningitis is started, except I don't think it's a form of Spinal Meningitis..That would be up to Lab researchers to verify of corse. If so the a earlyer diagnosis and treatment can be started..
Answers:
I attended a Parkinson's conference in Washington DC this spring, and I remember someone talking about a girl diagnosed with Parkinson's at age seven. So, I did some searching, and found this website:

Her name is Wilbanice. Perhaps the article leaves out her last name to protect her identity.

Writers from the Parkinson's Disease Foundation reference a patient diagnosed at the age of 9 at these links:

I hope this helps.

Other Answers:
I am not sure of the earliest case, but I know in a neuro class I took they talked about 20 year olds getting it. Not because of natural causes though, but because they had been taking so much LSD.
