&
Pages 666-670 | Published online: 08 Jun 2010
 

Abstract

This report describes a patient with schizophrenia who developed episodes of ocular dystonia as a delayed side effect of neuroleptic medication. Each episode was preceded and accompanied by marked agitation, stereotypic behaviour and exacerbation of hallucinations. Both the psychotic and dystonic symptoms responded to anticholinergic medication. The theoretical and practical implications of this observation are discussed.
