چکیده
Tardive dystonia (TD) is a movement disorder dominated by involuntary muscle contractions associated with prolonged exposure to neuroleptics. We are reporting a unique case of Olanzapine induced TD which presented along with catatonia. Both the disorders showed significant improvement with Clozapine. We recommend use of Clozapine for the management of cases of TD with catatonia.
