[Tardive akathisia and tardive dyskinesia].
Akathisia and tardive dyskinesia are thought to be different entities, while tardive akathisia is considered a variant of akathisia. In the case presented, tardive akathisia first appeared when phenothiazine medication was stopped and then, following a cerebrovascular accident, tardive akathisia disappeared with the emergence of tardive dyskinesia. This case suggests the possibility of a relationship between these 2 disorders.
