Acute-onset orofacial dyskinesia with a single low dose of oral flupentixol: A case report

Abstract

Tardive dyskinesia are known to occur commonly among patients receiving neuroleptic drugs for prolonged periods. But, few reports of acute onset dyskinesia have also been reported in the literature. This report highlights one such case where the patient had dyskinetic movements with a single low dose of oral Flupentixol. Further, we examine the potential nosological status of acute onset dyskinesia associated with neuroleptic use.
