Abstract
Dyskinesias are known to occur in many patients with Parkinson's disease treated with dopaminergic drugs but to date, drug‐induced dyskinesias have not been observed in humans with no underlying basal ganglia disorder. We describe a patient with psychogenic parkinsonism and intravenous apomorphine abuse leading to subsequent choreatiform dyskinesias. © 2004 Movement Disorder Society
