Aripiprazole-induced oculogyric crisis (acute dystonia) in 11 years old girl: a case report

Abstract

Abstract Acute dystonic reaction which is described as involuntary muscle spasms and contractions including neck, chin, eye and mouth muscles is an extrapyramidal adverse effect. Acute dystonic reactions are rarely seen with atypical antipsychotics. In this study, we present a case of an aripiprazole-induced oculogyric crisis in an 11 years old girl who diagnosed with mild intellectual disability attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, and conduct disorder. This case is important as aripiprazole-induced oculogyric crisis caused is not an expected side effect in the child and adolescent population.
