Is Spontaneous Orofacial Dyskinesia an Artefact Due to Incomplete Drug History?

Stephen B. Ticehurst, MB, BS

One percent of elderly people living outside of institutions have spontaneous dyskinesia. Patients in institutions have an average prevalence of 5% for this disorder, with some rates as high as 37%. It is possible that many institutional cases are in fact occult tardive dyskinesia related to past antipsychotic drug use. A survey of an institutional sample of elderly pa tients revealed a much higher rate of past exposure to antipsychotics (86%) than of current use (26%) in organically im paired patients. Despite a high prevalence of dyskinesia, no cases were found without past exposure to antipsychotics. (J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol 1990;3:208-211).
