Non-epileptic paroxysmal movement disorders are rare extrapyramidal diseases. The clinical signs are often excluded from differential diagnosis due to their paucity on clinical examination and low prevalence. The paroxysmal, stereotypical nature of non-epileptic paroxysmal movement disorders, as well as the potential response to benzodiazepines, renders these disorders susceptible to misdiagnos...
متن کاملExtrapyramidal effects of neuroleptics.
A study was conducted on 66 psychiatric inpatients who took major tranquilizers for periods of four to 16 years.
