A 58-year-old African American woman with long-standing schizophrenia, paranoid type, and severe tardive dystonia had history of repeated nonadherence and hospitalization. Multiple medication trials were unsuccessful. She was then treated with clozapine in a dose of 250 mg/day, and dystonia was measured using Burke-Fahn and Marsden Rating Scale. She had near-total resolution of tardive dystonia after initiation of clozapine, and the improvement was sustained over a 3-year follow-up period.

Abstract
A 58-year-old African American woman with long-standing schizophrenia, paranoid type, and severe tardive dystonia had history of repeated nonadherence and hospitalization. Multiple medication trials were unsuccessful. She was then treated with clozapine in a dose of 250 mg/day, and dystonia was measured using Burke-Fahn and Marsden Rating Scale. She had near-total resolution of tardive dystonia after initiation of clozapine, and the improvement was sustained over a 3-year follow-up period.File in questo prodotto:
