title: [Atypical acute dystonia].
abstract: Acute dystonia is a common adverse effect following anti-psychotic medication, which mainly appears shortly after beginning treatment or increasing the dosage. Laryngeal dysfunction may carely occur as part of the picture of acute dystonia and, if so, usually with dyspnoea. We describe a case of acute dystonia with atypical onset without relation to changes in dosage and with laryngeal involvement with aphonia, but without dyspnoea.
