Tardive dyskinesia associated with use of metoclopramide in a child.
Tardive dyskinesia is a chronic, often permanent, movement disorder that has been reported in elderly patients receiving metoclopramide. We describe an 8-year-old boy with tardive dyskinesia that developed when he received metoclopramide as part of therapy for gastroesophageal reflux and erosive esophagitis.
