The rabbit syndrome: Occurrence in a neuroleptic naive patient

Abstract:

An elderly woman presented with a severe depressive disorder and moderate cognitive impairment. She had a dyskinesia of the rabbit syndrome type, but in contrast to previous reports she had not previously been treated with neuroleptics. We believe this to be unique in the literature. Further, we speculate about the possible association of the rabbit syndrome and senile dementia of Lewy body type. Copyright © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
