Choreoathetoid movements associated with methamphetamine: A case report and review of literature.
American Journal on Addictions 2018 July 4
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Physicians and psychiatrists often encounter patients in the emergency department presenting after methamphetamine use. While physical and psychiatric manifestations associated with methamphetamine use are well known, movement disorders are relatively less common. The aim of this case report is to add to existing literature awareness about the possibility of movement disorders occurring after methamphetamine use, discuss the possible mechanism by which such use leads to dyskinesia, and describe possible management strategies.
METHODS AND RESULTS: In this case report, we describe choreoathetoid movements occurring in a young female after relatively short-term methamphetamine use.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Evidence for treatment of methamphetamine induced choreoathetosis is limited. Expectant management of such symptoms is a viable option if there are no additional comorbidities that require therapy.
SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Clinicians should be alert to the possibility of movement disorders in methamphetamine users and familiar with treatment options. (Am J Addict 2018;XX:1-4).
