Pisa syndrome in an adolescent on neuroleptic medication

J Turk and B Lask
Department of Psychological Medicine, Hospital for Sick Children, London.

The syndrome developed in an adolescent girl following administration of neuroleptic medication for psychotic features, and was transiently thought to be abnormal illness behaviour. This case emphasises the need for early diagnosis and rapid effective treatment.
