Transient recurrence of auditory hallucinations during acute dystonia

L P Chiu. Br J Psychiatry. 1989 Jul.

Abstract

Three schizophrenic patients who had transient recurrence of auditory hallucinations during acute dystonia precipitated by neuroleptic medication are reported. If it is accepted that psychotic symptoms result from dopaminergic overactivity, such phenomena suggest that acute dystonia might also have been caused by increased dopaminergic neurotransmission in these cases.
