Computerized tomography in patients with tardive dyskinesia.
The author reviews the results of computerized tomography performed on eight patients with tardive dyskinesia to determine whether there was permanent structural damage. No significant abnormalities were found. Although it may not be useful in routine workups, this new noninvasive technique might be helpful in differential diagnosis, and its increasing sophistication may suggest further research on tardive dyskinesia.
