Carbamazepine-induced orofacial dyskinesia

From the Neurology Service, Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, TX.

Extrapyramidal syndromes have been described after administration of phenytoin and primidone.^1-4 Although asterixis, dystonia, and tremor have been described with carbamazepine (Tegretol)^1,5-7 there is no report of orofacial dyskinesia. We report a case in which a dose-related lingual-facial-buccal extrapyramidal reaction occurred in association with carbamazepine intoxication.
