title: Quetiapine successfully treating oculogyric crisis induced by antipsychotic drugs.
abstract: We report two patients who developed persistent oculogyric crisis, obsessional thoughts and psychiatric symptoms after prolonged treatment with typical and atypical antipsychotics. Both our patients did not improve after withdrawal of these antipsychotics, but rather after quetiapine was administered.
