Abstract:
Clinical features of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) toxicity include hypertension, hyperthermia, tachycardia, and muscular agitation. We report two cases in which some of these signs of severe toxicity were seen in association with a unique periodic alternating gaze disturbance known as "ping-pong" gaze.
