Observation:

  • Two children presented with acute extrapyramidal symptoms.
  • Symptoms emerged after the ingestion of an electrolyte drink.

Findings:

  • Investigations revealed accidental poisoning with a neuroleptic drug mixed into the electrolyte drink.
  • Treatment with Biperidon (Akineton) resulted in a positive clinical response.

Implications:
