Abstract: | Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is an uncommon presentation in children, which can be disabling and irreversible when it does occur. An 8 year old boy, with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and borderline intelligence, developed features suggestive of TD on withdrawal of long-term haloperidol medication. After recommencing haloperidol at a lower dose his symptoms improved clinically and the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale score also decreased. Haloperidol was tailed off gradually and vitamin E was initiated |
