Acute dystonic reaction associated with cefalexine

Dystonia is a movement disorder defined as a syndrome of sustained muscle contractions, frequently causing twisted and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. While dystonic reactions due to a neurodegenerative disease develop slowly in the progressive fashion, acute drug-induced dystonic reactions usually occur within the first 4 days of the treatment. Typically, cranial pharyngeal and cervical muscles are affected with prompt relief after the introduction of anticholinergics in treatment. The most common cases of drug- induced movement disorders are caused with neuroleptics and antiemetics. We present a patient with acute dystonic reaction associated with beta-lactam antibiotic cefalexine.
