Pelvic dyskinesia with an outstanding response to tetrabenazine.
We report on a patient who presented an invalidating progressive pelvic dyskinesia while receiving different kinds of neuroleptic drugs for a psychiatric disorder. The clinical features and different drug-induced movement scales showed an outstanding improvement after tetrabenazine was started. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of pelvic dyskinesia with good evolution and control of dyskinesias after treatment with tetrabenazine.
