Abstract
Oculogyric crisis is a dystonic movement disorder characterized by continuous contraction of the ocular muscles and spasmodic movements of the pupils in a fixed position, usually upward. In this case report, an early-stage acute oculogyric crisis due to low-dose olanzapine in a 15-year-old adolescent boy is presented. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report showing that acute oculogyric crisis can develop with low-dose olanzapine administration. Even though second-generation antipsychotics are safer than conventional antipsychotics in terms of extrapyramidal adverse effects, this possibility should always be taken into consideration through this case report.
