A Unique Case of Tardive Dystonia Induced by Short-Term Therapy with Perazin

Abstract
Perazin is a piperazine derivative of phenothiazine with higher affinity for the D2 than the D1 receptor. We observed a 43-year-old woman who developed blepharospasm and oral hyperkinesia as a tardive dystonic syndrome after short-term treatment with perazin. She had never taken any other neuroleptic medication and all known forms of secondary dystonia were ruled out. We were unable to find any previous reports of perazin-induced tardive dystonia.
