Facial dyskinesia: a 16-year follow-up study

HA McClelland, AV Metcalfe, TA Kerr, D Dutta and P Watson
St Nicholas Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne.

The 109 female survivors of a mental hospital population surveyed in 1965 for facial dyskinesia were followed up 16 years later. The 99 survivors with non-organic brain syndromes were analysed. Prevalence of dyskinesia had risen from 18.4% to 46.5% during follow-up and its development was significantly associated with neuroleptic dosage. Enlarged ventricles on brain scans were significantly associated with dyskinesia, cognitive impairment and neuroleptic prescribing.
