title: [Cerebellar syndrome secondary to lithium poisoning: a cinematic and electromyographic study of 2 cases].
abstract: We report two patients with lithium toxicity and cerebellar signs. In the first case, the patient presented with acute poisoning, whereas the second suffered from long lasting sequelae. A kinematic and electromyographic study of rapid wrist movements was performed. Hypermetria was obvious in both cases and due to a delayed onset antagonist activity.
