    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a neurological disorder associated with dopamine receptor blockade.
    • Typical TD cases involve prolonged exposure to neuroleptic medications.

    Observation:

    • An atypical case of tardive dyskinesia is presented in a 19-year-old male.
    • The patient received low dosages of neuroleptic medication for less than six months.
    • The patient exhibited symptoms characteristic of tardive dyskinesia.

    Findings:

    • Symptoms of tardive dyskinesia resolved within three months after discontinuing the neuroleptic medication.
    • This case presents atypically due to the short duration and low dosage of neuroleptic exposure.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for tardive dyskinesia to develop even with limited neuroleptic exposure.
    • Further reporting and detailed descriptions of similar atypical cases are crucial for advancing the understanding of tardive dyskinesia.
    • Clinicians should consider tardive dyskinesia in patients with movement disorders, irrespective of medication history.
