Solifenacin induced dyskinesia

Solifenacin-induced small bowel pseudo-obstruction.

An 89-year-old woman was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital with a small bowel obstruction and symptoms of urinary retention. She had been started on solifenacin for bladder overactivity 10 days prior to her presentation. Withdrawal of the solifenacin resulted in a full recovery, which has persisted for greater than 6 months without surgical intervention. This is the first reported case report ...

Clozapine-induced Tardive Dyskinesia

Levodopa-induced dyskinesia and thalamotomy.

Levodopa-induced dyskinesia of the limbs in thirteen cases of Parkinsonism, which was choreic, ballistic or dystonic in type, was alleviated almost completely by stereotaxic surgery using a microelectrode technique for the ventralis oralis anterior and posterior nuclei of the thalamus, but much less by the ventralis intermedius nucleus. Control of levodopa-induced dyskinesias by thalamic lesion...

Crocin prevents haloperidol-induced orofacial dyskinesia: possible an antioxidant mechanism

Objective(s):Long-term treatment with antipsychotics causes serious side effects such as tardive dyskinesia that characterized by abnormal movements in the orofacial region. Oxidative stress in the brain specific area is implicated in the pathophysiology of tardive dyskinesia. In this study the protective effect of crocin on haloperidol-induced orofacial dyskinesia was evaluated. Materials and ...

Drug-induced dyskinesia--an electrophysiological analysis of dyskinesia induced by L-DOPA and anticholinergic drugs.

The application of L·DOPA (L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) to the treatment of extrapyramidal disorders has been extremely beneficial for parkinsonism 1)-8). At the same time several side-effects have been recognized. Among them, the appearance of dyskinesia poses an important problem 8)-13l , but causative mechanisms of L·DOPA induced dyskinesia are not yet sufficiently elucidated. Such dyskine...
