Phenobarbital-induced buccolingual dyskinesia in oral apraxia

G P Sechi et al. Eur Neurol. 1988.

Abstract

A young woman with oral apraxia and a well-defined brain lesion on CT scan developed buccolingual dyskinesia lasting 40 days after low phenobarbital (PB) doses. Disruption of the corticostriatal glutamatergic pathway from areas 6 and 4 may have been important both in causing oral apraxia and in lowering the threshold for PB-induced buccolingual dyskinesia.
