Abstract

Common drug-induced movement disorders (DIMDs) in children vary widely and include hyperkinetic and hypokinetic syndromes. Based on time course, they can be acute, chronic, tardive, and withdrawal. They can be emergent (eg, acute dystonic reaction) or even threatening (ie, neuroleptic malignant syndrome and serotonin syndrome). They can be chronic and disabling (eg, tardive syndromes, tremors). Therefore, it is very important for providers to be familiar with the recognition and treatment of DIMDs.
