ABSTRACT
A survey study of T.D. among 3037 Egyptian psychotic inpatients under long-term neuroleptic treatment was carried out. 52 dyskinetic cases were detected, and the prevalence rate was estimated to be 1.7%. Significant associations between T.D. and age at examination [above 40 years], female sex above 50 years, and duration of hospitalization were detected. The relative contributions of other variables in the development of T.D. were far from clear in the present work. T.D. movements were mostly central affecting commonly the lips and jaw, frequently in the form of chewing, smacking, pouting, puckering and grimacing movements. The degree of severity was mild in 61.57% of cases according to the 'AIMS'
