Carbamazepine-induced orofacial dyskinesia

Neurology. 1980 Dec;30(12):1333-4. doi: 10.1212/wnl.30.12.1333.

Abstract

Extrapyramidal syndromes have been described after administration of phenytoin and primidone. Although asterixis, dystonia, and tremor have been described with carbamazepine (Tegretol), there is no report of orofacial dyskinesia. We report a case in which a dose-related lingual-facial-buccal extrapyramidal reaction occurred in association with carbamazepine intoxication.
