Relation between cholinesterase inhibitor and Pisa syndrome

Y T Kwak et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

We report two patients who developed Pisa syndrome after treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors--cognition-enhancing novel agents for patients with Alzheimer's disease. Cholinergic excess could be another factor in Pisa syndrome, especially in cholinergically-imbalanced Alzheimer's disease.
