Intern Med. 2008;47(6):551-2. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.47.0623. Epub 2008 Mar 17.

Abstract

We present a 21-year-old woman with an oculogyric crisis following the administration of clebopride. Based on the temporal relationship of the administration of clebopride to the occurrence of the event and the absence of other possible etiologies, clebopride is implicated as the cause of this acute oculogyric crisis, despite the fact that a cause-and-effect relationship cannot be confirmed.
