title: Relation between cholinesterase inhibitor and Pisa syndrome.
abstract: We report two patients who developed Pisa syndrome after treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors--cognition-enhancing novel agents for patients with Alzheimer's disease. Cholinergic excess could be another factor in Pisa syndrome, especially in cholinergically-imbalanced Alzheimer's disease.
