Chapter 3 describes extrapyramidal and cerebellar motor tests. ❋ Michael Alan Taylor (1993)

- When elevated doses are given or when treatments are prolonged, extrapyramidal disorder can occur (agitation and spasms), specially in young patients. ❋ Unknown (1993)

In lethal catatonia, hyperthermia is present at the outset, other extrapyramidal features are absent if the clinician did not prematurely administer a neuroleptic, and postures often are odd and associated with echophenomena. ❋ Michael Alan Taylor (1993)
