A case of rabbit syndrome treated with quetiapine.
Rabbit syndrome is characterized by rapid, fine, rhythmic movements of the perioral muscles along a vertical axis, mimicking the chewing actions of a rabbit. The present case demonstrates the possible usefulness of quetiapine as a mono-drug treatment strategy for dealing with rabbit syndrome and simultaneously treating psychotic symptoms.
