Abstract
A man with typical symptoms of lithium intoxication had, in addition, severe and persistent oculogyric crises, which cleared completely during recovery. Previous reports have demonstrated that lithium may impair basal ganglia activity, but this is the first reported case of oculogyric crises induced by lithium carbonate intoxication.Keywords
